All of the movies listed above are considered contemporary classics from the 1980s for different reasons. One commonality between the three is that they all raised the bar in their respective movie genres. Martin Scorcese directs a movie that really makes the viewer feel for Robert De Niro, the rampid boxer, and captures the struggles a boxer can go through during his career. The gritty and rough scenery that Brian De Palma creates, combined with the stellar performance from Al Pacino, makes Scarface one of the most memorable films of the 1980s. And lastly, The Breakfast Club, directed by John Hughes, ventures into the mind of highschool students, something that had not been created and not replicated even today, in the movie industry.

Here is an example of a chart which lays out some of the architecture of a particular website: .
 * Website Architecture -** Website architecture is very similar to architecture itself. It involves techinical, asthetic and functional criteria. In order to have successful business architecture, the creater must develop a plan which lays out the content that is going to be included in the website, along with having a very organized layout.



**Website Navigation** - Website navigation refers to how a user can navigate your website through links and photographs. The navigation layout should be included as a part of your website architecture plan. Good websites have a very 'user-friendly' interface with easy access to links and photographs so the user can navigate through your website effortlessly. In my opinion, website navigation is the 'make or break' when it comes to web design. Here is an example of a very familiar and popular website, Youtube, which has phenominal website navigation: [|www.youtube.com]

**Information Heirarchy -** Also known as the "DIKW Heirarchy", Information heirarchy refers to the relationship between **d**ata, **i**nformation, **k**nowledge, **w**isdom (DIKW) to create a design, not necessarily for a website. This is an important concept because, in order to create an informative website with legitamate facts, which is not redundant or boring, one must refer to the information heirarchy. For a more descriptive explination go to: [|www.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIKW]
