Today is the final day to work on your flash animation. Approximately half way through the period, I will come around to see and grade your animation in action. If you haven't posted 5 questions you'd like to see on the final yet, do so today. They can be over anything we've done this year (hardware, software, online apps, etc).
The Last Project
The last project we will be working on for the year is to create a portfolio of your work with dreamweaver. We will go over the software more next week. If you have finished your current project, you are welcome to start playing with it or looking stuff up for it if you so desire.
The first thing due for this project is to create a plan for what you want your portfolio to look like. This will be due Monday May 9th/Tuesday May 10th. Browse the web to get some ideas on what you may want your website to look like. You will have three weeks to work on this project. The plan should reflect a decent amount of work, but don't try for the impossible with the time we have allotted.
You will need to gather the work you've created this year for the project. You may need to spend some time gathering the work, especially if you've switched computers throughout the year. Hopefully, you've posted most the work on your blog and can find it without too much difficulty.
Also, Dreamweaver can not make graphics or images for you. You will need to make whatever images you want for your layout in a different program and then save them in JPG(recommended) or GIF format, as these are the most widely readable formats across computer types, operating systems, and browsers. You may use whatever program you would like to create imagery for your layout. Remember, any borrowed imagery from the web must be royalty free.
examples:
Notice, there is a wide range of what is reasonable. Some of them are a bit complicated and would need to be toned down a little. Some are way too complex with what you can learn in three weeks, and show long-term experience with web development.
Next class, we will discuss how the websites were constructed (or at least could be with the basis of web-design).
Off task? if so... at least do something educational...
