Continue working on your website
The school year is almost over... hopefully your project is moving along fine... as the time remaining is quickly dwindling.
In case you didn't realize it, the website I showed you last class was around 20 pages. Each picture I showed you was on a separate page. Each page was identical to the previous, with exception to the image that loaded in the center and hyperlinks attached to the arrows for the next and previous picture.
Below is an example of a map that shows the different pages created, and a simple map showing how they were linked together.
Yearbook
Your final pictures for the supplement are due this friday(thats today!) along with their Keynote's that include the captions (submitted as a group keynote).
This should be the third keynote your group has submitted (one for the previous three weeks, as well as one for the three weeks just after spring break). Keynotes and Photos for the supplement submitted after this Friday will not be useful and late penalties will apply.
Photos of the fad you are taking pictures of are due by the end of class next Wednesday. Work submitted after this point will not be graded.

Don't forget you need to have a rough plan or idea on what you want your website to look like. Once you do, let me know and I'll help you figure out how to make it using tables.

Yearbook
Hopefully you've completed everything that is past due, however... there are quite a few groups that did not turn in keynotes of their submitted photos. If your group is one of these... that's something you still need to do at some point.
Some students still need to upload their photos for last 3 weeks, as well as other things. Lets end the last six weeks on a good note; get these in to improve your grades (or keep your good grades).
If someone would like to begin organizing and assembling the DVD, speak to me about it.
Today
- Decide in your group who's covering what this last 3 weeks for the supplement. (5 photos due + keynote captions on May 20th) Avoid overlap.

Multimedia Today!
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.
