Advanced Web Design: AD650

COURSE CALENDAR | WEEK 08 CLASS OUTLINE |

Midterm Project Critique
The purpose of this project is to give students experience preparing a client presentation outlining the site planning and development phases. Designers with the ability to prepare and present a professional verbal and visual presentation will be better able to compete in the highly competitive field of design.

Students should be prepared to present their well-crafted presentations to the class in a professional manner. Each student will have 10 minutes, including time for feedback.

Imagine you are presenting to a room full of people who have no idea how a web site is created. You will field questions from the class (board of directors) and attempt to keep the presentation organized and on-track. The final goal is to get approval from the class to begin the next phase of the site development.
- Check the Midterm Project requirements to ensure you have all required elements prepared.
- Your persentation files should be uploaded to the FTP server in order to receive a passing grade.
- Make at lease one BACKUP of your work on CD!!
- Late projects will not be accepted.
