Hi everyone.
I’ve attached the handouts from last night’s class. Nothing has really changed on the schedule except that I have modified some of the class topics to be more relevant to your professional, online presence. Yes…these days web portfolios go beyond just having a site. We’ll work on the big picture including your brand, blogging, and social media. Exciting!
Per the class schedule, NEXT WEEK you should bring in 2 portfolio sites. A good one and a bad one. This exercise will not only help some of you get the credit you need to have a higher grade, but it will also get your wheels turning on your own site. We will move on to photo galleries. Bring some images if you would like to practice.
Wednesday (tomorrow) I will be meeting some of you in the Digital Lab from 10:30am to 12pm and 1pm-2pm. If you are still lost on your midterm site please come. They MUST be finished by the weekend to receive any credit whatsoever. We’ve been working on our midterm sites for 5 weeks now, starting with the Mid-term Mockup which was due Week 7. So it is time to commit to some time outside of class and get this done. Upon completion I guarantee that you will then have enough basic knowledge to move on to the good stuff. But the only way to learn is by doing the work.
For those of you who got your site done or had minor glitches, enjoy your week of research. If you want to re-design some parts we can talk about extra credit.
Hang in there,
