:: schedule for the rest of the semester Art 249: Art 257:
:: midterm assignment due :: 10.10.05 • Final comps • purpose/objective: • To use templates in order to iterate out the designs for an entire site. • To design the most effective user interface for your targeted audience. • To defend the conceptual merits of your own designs. • To meet the needs and deadlines dictated by your client. • assignment: Based upon the feedback from your 2nd round of comps, make the necessary changes to transform your designs into their final form for viewing to the client. You need to produce at least two versions. All pages from your site map must be comped to completion (yes, all sub pages). Pay attention to the details (spelling, curve quality, pixel alignment). All comps should include the final images and copy (no lorem ipsums). • format: no less than two designs in two different thematic directions. You may do a third if you would like to show a third design to the client. Use Photoshop to execute your designs digitally. Technical details: • “x” number of JPEG images (the number x depends upon how many pages are in your site map) – in at least two different thematic directions :: (1000 x 800 pixels in dimension, 100% max quality compression). For your midterm you CAN NOT present in Photoshop (by hiding and showing layers), you must present still images. Please put them all in one folder – no subfolders. Use a clear and recognizable naming convention to be able to jump around during the critique. These designs are meant to be given to the client to take home with them. • Revised site map – along with your comps, please revise your site map, and save it out as an image to show the client during the critique.
:: post mortem • How smoothly did today’s class run? • What slowed us down? • What did we skip over? • How can we be more efficient in the future?
