FrontPage Web Site Assignment |
The premise of this assignment is that you are working
with a group to come up with a new design for a real site with information with photos.
You are to come up with a new design for the SPCA web site, add
updated content and new pictures to your newly designed web pages.
You must meet client specifications:
 |
You will use existing photos.
|
 |
You must come up with
a color scheme, graphic navigation, and graphic banners.
|
 |
You must include the client's existing logo.
|
 |
Information will be provided and you must decide how
to best organize it within the client's specifications. (See
pages below.)
|
 |
You may not use FrontPage navigation (except
for planning), FrontPage themes or shared borders.
|
 |
Home page must include a nice photo and space for
current information that will be updated often.
|
Refer to
FrontPage Help (new)
for help with how you can do navigation. You must develop at
least 3 web pages in the 3 days you have to work on this web. (You can start
planning and getting design ideas before the project officially begins.) See
below for what you will be graded on. (I suggest
starting with a plan for your design, working on a banner design and navigation
graphics.) When you are ready to start your
site, create a new FrontPage web, one page web, at the location: Z:\WebMastering_yourname\fp_mods\YourName_SPCA. Create a nice home page for
your site, and decide on other pages you will create. Organize information,
add graphics and format in a professional way. Remember design standards
as listed below.
The grading rubric is based on the following
items:
 |
Color scheme is consistent (goes with their existing
logo & other pages).
|
 |
The pages should have their own graphic form of
navigation, such as graphic buttons to link to other pages, to enable good
navigation from page to page. (Do not use FrontPage navigation bars or hover buttons on this
assignment.)
|
 |
This web must conform to the following web
design standards, including:
 |
Pages should download on 30 seconds or less on a
56K modem. To change this setting in FrontPage, choose Tools, Options,
Reports View tab. Set connection speed at 56K and slow pages
time as 30 seconds.
|
 |
Clipart must be Microsoft Clipart or come from
Microsoft Office
Clipart site; In the real world, you cannot
just "harvest" graphics and use them to develop web sites for a career!
|
 |
Pictures must come from photos provided. Any other graphics must be
original graphics you create.
|
 |
Graphics and clipart shall not be wider than
770
pixels, and the table holding content cannot be wider than 772 pixels.
The client seems to prefer a design with a centered table of this width,
allowing for a background color or image outside of this.
|
 |
Pages and titles must be spell and grammar
checked.
|
|
 |
Page titles should identify the topic of the page
in book title capitalization.
|
 |
Information and pages should be organized in both
content and layout.
|
 |
Design concepts, such as white space, balance,
contrast, readability, proximity, etc. should be applied.
|
 |
Content used should add some value in the form of information and
attractive, quality graphics.
|
 |
Student must show significant effort in project.
|
Due dates for 2007 are
Feb. 11 (A) and 12 (B). The 4th six weeks ends Friday of the this week.
The
following is a list of pages that will be included in the
web site.
