Assignment One Deliverables, 02/13/09
Check this out:To the right is a simple schematic of the IDCC 380 site you will have built for assignment one, due Friday, February 20. Click on the graphic to downlaod a pdf file detailing the requirements for the assignment.
By the way, one of the requirements for layout pages 4 and 5 is that you insert a unique Google gadget in one of the columns. The complete selection of gadgets is rather interesting and fun to peruse. You will also find that designing a gadget into your page is a nice challenge, for both aesthetics and validation purposes.If you have questions, just e-mail me at wbuchholz@bentley.edu.

Exercise 7 - Usability Associates Services, 02/24/08
Check this out:Tuesday, February 26, we will begin Exercise 7, using one set of the tabs you generated with CSS Tab Designer, Thursday, February 21.
This tab set will become the top-tier primary navigation in the header of the services page of our prototype site, Usability Associates.Exercise 7 will allow you to place the tabs in a fully functional template, complete with wrapper, header, left-column secondary navigation, right column content, and footer. The screenshot at right (click for larger view) illustrates the prototype I built from a tab set placed into one of the earlier layout exercises.
This exercise introduces you to a number of new Web design challenges, chief of which is putting together layout (with appropriate color palette), primary navigation (generated), secondary navigation (hand carved), exported and commented CSS, exported JavaScript, W3C validation, and high level prototype functionality. All in all, this exercise is an excellent design, information architecture, and site management experience.
If you have questions, just e-mail me at wbuchholz@bentley.edu. Feel free to comment on this announcement, or if you want to e-mail it, click on the little mail icon directly below.
