In class discussion: Final projects
- No questions two weeks in a row!🧐
Internships
- Visual Arts Press (my office) is looking for a current sophomore or junior web intern for the summer and next year
- Please refer your friends who are interested in getting hands on IxD experience! Email [email protected]
- One of my friends at National Geographic is looking for web interns for the summer (paid at $16/hr)
Mid semester reports
- I sent out status emails earlier today. If anyone has any concerns or extenuating circumstances, please talk to me.
Website design review
PHP review + Forms on the internet
- Let's see how PHP can be used to make Breakheadz more dynamic...
- We just designed a contact form for Brickheadz. What happens when it gets submitted?
- contact-form.zip (php code for contact forms)
Find a domain name
- If you're purchasing a domain name for your final project, use Google Domains, to find one that's available
- If you find one you like, go ahead and purchase it
- Note that a domain name will cost you around $12/yr and hosting, which we'll also need, will be around $5/mo. This optional (however everything on webdesign.sva.edu will be erased in early 2019).
Design assignment: Interactive prototypes
Deliverable: Publicly accessible PDF
- Taking class feedback into account, create interactive prototypes for your homepage and secondary pages for desktop and mobile and mobile
- Be bold! It should look better (or at least different) than a Squarespace site!
- Finalize your presentation. The order of slides should be:
- Cover page
- Optional page(s) explaining the major goal of the project and the main challenges
- Homepage design for desktop & mobile (no annotations)
- Link to interactive prototype of homepage
- Homepage design (with annotations)
- Secondary pages for desktop & mobile (with annotations)
- Link to interactive prototype of secondary page
- Wireframes
- Content strategy
- Thank you page
- If you've already done prototypes then you can start coding your secondary page (in PHP if you like!)
Coding: Final Brickheadz url
