Exercises
Your animated story is due next Tuesday. Don't forget that the postmortem is also due on Friday, November 15 by 6pm. You may either link to this or add it to the end of your story.html project page. Make sure that I can find it easily for grading!
Final
Research, Content Audit & Site Map
The research, content audit, and site map for your final project is due next class. Below is a link to the Finals page which describes what is expected.
For your research & content audit, I'm looking for a written document with answers to the research questions posed in the link above. Use examples of other websites. Your content audit should be a list of all items you will need for your page. You may complete these in either Word or Google Docs. This is two parts! 1) Research 2) Content Audit.
You may create your site map in whatever application you are most comfortable with. I recommend Sketch, Illustrator or InDesign. You may also find additional tools online.
Deliverables
- Save both the research & content audit and site map as pdf files and email them to me. I should receive the email before the start of class on 11/13.
- Upload both of the pdf files to your web space and create a link to them on the final project page of your class website. PDF files must be linked using the <a> element, not the <img>
All updates and deadlines about the final project are posted on the final page.
