| Web Design Project The purpose of this project is to gain an understanding of internet design rhetoric, and to have experience tailoring texts for particular audiences. Project Requirements: * Choose a design scheme that is pertinent to your topic or goals and your audience. * Devise a website architecture that makes sense for your material (how many pages should your site have? Where should your paper be divided into pages?) * Revise your text to suit the needs of the internet medium * Consider strategies for visual appeal, including typeface, line spacing, use of white space, legibility, and color choices * Consider how to subtly convey ethos via your text and design * Your website should contain at least 4 pages, but may contain more. Presentation After completing and posting your website, you will present it to the class. Your 7-minute presentation will consist of 1) identifying your audience, 2) summarizing your proposal, and 3) explaining and justifying the design choices you made -- make explicit for the class the rhetoric of your design scheme (refer back to the questions in the proposal and architecture assignments). |
