| Final
Project: Socio-Cultural Report or Technical Instructions
For this assignment, you have two choices. You can either research
and create a site for a socio-cultural issue of your choice, or
you can create an instructional site that helps your intended user
to complete a technical task using software or programming available
in the CCLI. If you choose the latter, it should not be something
we have already done in class unless it utilizes an application
we haven't covered. You can work alone or with a partner.
PURPOSE
This
assignment is designed to give you further opportunity to develop
a small scale site while also having greater freedom and allowing
more creativity than in the two previous assignments. Although your
projects will have diverse goals depending on who you are designing
for, your site should effectively and invitingly communicate with
its intended audience. The design should be appealing and the navigation
and flow of information should be user-friendly.
Guidelines
for What You'll be Developing
At
the end of this assignment, you will have a small, complete, fully-functioning
web site (though it may have room for later expansion and development).
At a minimum, it should include the following:
- 5
fully developed pages
- a
clear navigation system for moving between the pages
- 10
images (these can be photos, illustrations, text graphics, buttons,
etc.)
- a
clear indication of the site's purpose
- a
purposeful layout and color system
- attention
to common monitor sizes (main content/design should fall within
800x600 pixel size)
- contact
information for whoever will be responsible for maintaining the
page or fielding questions/comments
- outside
links as appropriate
Depending
on the needs and interests of your project's client and audience,
your site may contain additional features such as:
- pop-up
menus
- Flash
introduction or interactive features
- sound
- video
- etc.
