COURSE CALENDAR | WEEK 08 CLASS OUTLINE | EXAM
- Midterm Exam (the exam will be available for the first 30 minutes of class)
- Midterm Project Critique
- You will be critiquing your colleagues' projects. Participation in the critique is NOT optional. It is a significant part of your grade (15%).
- Review the Midterm Project description to see the requirements for the project and the Midterm Project RUBRIC how the project will be graded.
- Find a partner and write up a short critique of your partner's site. You will be presenting your his/her site to the class. Give your partner constructive criticism relating to use of color, contrast, balance, alignment, proper XHTML structure, CSS implementation, etc. Phrases like "It's hot" and "I like it" are not acceptable without a detailed explanation of the "hotness" and "likeableness".
- Check the Student Portfolio page to make sure your FTP folder is set up properly for the critique and grading. You must have index.html in your root directory.
- Late projects will not be accepted. Your site should be finished and uploaded to the FTP server. You will not have time in class to upload your files. UPLOAD BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS (instructions).
Next week we will add past project samples to our projects page. This means you need to dig up your old projects and save them as (PSD) Photoshop files. BRING TO CLASS!!
If you don't have design projects you will need to put together examples of production projects you have worked on. For example: binding and finishing, digital asset management, project management and workflow analysis, digital pre-press projects. You can include a description of your contribution to these projects in addition to an image, file or diagram.
