Introduction to Multimedia (Fall 2004)


Second Project: Basic Web Site (posted 28 September 2004)

In this assignment, you will take the content from the paper you submitted, and begin shaping it into a web site about that person or event.

The site should have a minimum of 5 pages--one main page, at least three content pages with information from your paper, and one page of references. Do not simply divide the text of your paper up into three chunks and put one on each page; the linear, narrative organization of a paper seldom transfers well to the hypermedia, screen-based environment of the web. Instead, think of another way to organize your content. It could be chronological, by type of information (biographical, technical, financial), by topic (accomplishments, history, current projects), or any number of other breakdowns.

The main page should be named index.html, and should include links to all other pages in the directory. It should also include links to the myCourses site (http://mycourses.rit.edu) and to your main IMM page (http://www.rit.edu/~yourid/imm). Your main IMM page should include a direct link to this assignment.

All files for this site (except images, if you use them) should be placed in your imm/project1 directory. Any images used should be placed in your imm/media directory. All links to files on your site should use relative references, with appropriate paths.

While you can add images at this point, you do not have to--you will not be graded on images. However, you will be graded on some basic aspects of design, all of which can be effectively implemented through effective use of color and typography. Here are the requirements for the site:

*Meets all requirements for number and content of pages, as well as location of files *Content is well-organized and well-presented. *Clean, valid HTML and CSS code (Clean means that it is easy to read, has sufficient white space, uses relative URLs wherever possible, doesn't include unnecessary tags, and uses CSS appropriately to streamline formatting. Valid means that it passes through the W3C HTML and CSS validators without errors.)
*Uses basic design principles ("C.R.A.P."), appropriate typography, and color, to enhance the delivery of your content.

Your site will be graded using the criteria below. The assignment is worth up to ten points; total points for each component are shown below.

Organzation & quality of content 2 pts
Mechanics (number & location of pages; clean, valid, uses tables & CSS) 5 pts
Design (typography, color, C.R.A.P.) 3 pts

The web site must be posted by 2pm (the beginning of class) on Thursday, October 21st. We will check modification dates; anything uploaded or changed after that time will be considered late, and the grade will be reduced by one letter grade for each 24 period following the deadline.
