Midterm Project: 25%Due: TBA
The Midterm Project's overall site architecture will be designed in early lab assignments, and its design and layout refined over the first month and 1/2 of the course. The outcome will be a multipage HTML5 website with CSS layout and design that introduces the student to the class and serves as an archive of lab assignments that will be completed throughout the semester. The Midterm Project will, by the end of the term, also link to the student's final project proposal, final project itself, as well as accompanying documentation / post-project reflection.
Final Project Proposal: 10%Due: TBA
Following the completion of the Midterm Project, students are expected to formulate a proposal outlining their intentions and aspirations for a Final Project site. Proposals will include: a description of and rationale for the site's genre; a collection of URLs that provide inspiration for content or design; wireframes for page mockup; proposed color palette; and description of multimedia and interactive elements. Proposal should also identify two or more “reach goals.“
Final Project: 35%Due: TBA
The final project for the course is an accessible, interactive website that uses valid HTML, CSS, and Javascript of a genre (design portfolio, web documentary, webXR experience, interactive storytelling, or a company, product, hobby, thesis, or project website) and aesthetic of the student's choice, in consultation with and with approval of lab instructors. Final projects will be accompanied by a one-page site self-assessment / post-mortem reflection.
