Homework Assignments:

1. YOU MUST Bring in you recipe page for the class to use as part of their midterm site project, we're all sharing the content.

Last class, you were to have a recipe page styled and a recipe site (3 pages) mocked up in illustrator, photoshop, or any way you're comfortable, ready-to-go... See Alicia's page for the best example of what WAS expected by last week.

2. A completely styled css page ready to go...

3. A wireframe (this will evolve) for your portfolio site, this will be due at the end of class and will be presented at your Mid-Point review as part of your Thesis Review. You can NOT graduate with an MFA without it!!!

4. Your Midterm is 2 projects... one is a demonstration library site of the projects we've done in class and you've spruced up. The second is the recipe site. The final is again 2 projects, a portfolio site of your work, mentioned in #3 above, and what i'm calling a demonstration library site, so not to confuse the portfolio assignment, but it is a portfolio of every class assignment we've done, from the color site to the box examples with the dots... here's an example from a previous student: bryan harris' demonstration library This was completed in week 13. Notice how he's organized it on his server. Our assignments are slightly different, since we're covering slightly different topics now.

ALSO....

start gathering URLs of portfolio sites you like, sites you find inspirational...
