Today you should be starting on your website.
If you haven't read last classes post containing information about the assignment, that might be the best place to start. Today, during part of class, we will use the projector so that I may more easily demonstrate how the software works, and how simple to moderately comples sites are built.
First things first:
- gather the work you've created this year (export your flash animation as a .swf, export your movie as a small .mov)
- get an idea for what you'd like your website to look at (check examples in previous post)
Second:
- sketch the concept for your layout
- begin creating the needed graphics for your layout
Third:
- begin using dreamweaver to build your site.
When designing your website, keep in mind what resolution width you are designing for. The ten most used resolution sizes during 2010 are shown below. There are over 850 different resolutions, you'll want to design yours for the majority of users. Keep in mind, someone with a higher resolution typically has no problem with a lower one (users running 1280 can easily still navigate 1024).
note: We discovered on Friday that some security setting or program on our machines causes dreamweaver to not quite work the way its suppose to. If you need help because something isn't working let me know. At some points, we may have to use hand-coding due to these issues.
