DO NOW thursday 3/28

Who controls the Internet? Even though the Internet has been around for as long as you have been alive, 90% of the people that control major portions of Internet and Internet filtering (safety) were born prior to the birth of the Internet.

SPAMHAUSE, a Geneva based NON-PROFIT spam filtering organization blocked CYBERBUNKER, a Dutch web hosting company.

Basically CYBERBUNKER says they have the right to host everything from public high school web-design classroom BLOGs to kiddie porn and terrorist website. SPAMHAUSE serves as a filter to keep the Internet justified and uncorrupted.

ASSIGNMENT: Does any one organization have the right to suppress the Internet? Use and site facts from the Internet to support your comments.

Here is what you are responsible for for the 3rd QTR

List of assignments-

- Purpose of a website-
- list of 10 successful websites with posted images
- finished HTML page containing all (non-functional) components
- working link on HTML page
- progress shown on BLOG of PS page
- use of the slice tool on PS PAGE.
- updated BLOG.

Go through this list, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING!!!

new purpose statement

Your next WEBSITE will be designed fully using PHOTO SHOP.

this project will be a multi document project.

1- page doc.- this doc will be the skeleton for the entire project. as you finish each component you will bring it onto this "PAGE DOC." Use the guidelines to help line up the components.

2- banner doc. - create a NEW banner, let the banner combine a LOGO and text to give a "snapshot of what your business is about"

3- navigation bar- research other navigation bars, do NOT take design for granted. designers get paid to create nav. bars that "blend" into their web environment.

4- Background- keep this subtle but expressive. You do not want your back ground to be more important than your content.

5- LOGO- this is Incorporated into your banner.

6- footer- use a simple version of your banner/ header.

Once you finish your design you may then use the slice toole to create usable space.

You may use your last Website as your idea for your new project BUT, you MUST re-design all components.

You will also be responsible for at least 3 separate pages listed in you NAVIGATION BAR.

*REMEMBER= when you design more than one page, you are using the same header, navbar and footer, actual content is all that changes.

thanks

your page must include the following to have a full grade.
   -header- designed in PS.
   -navigation bar- designed in PS.
   -background- color using HTML or texture designed in PS.

   -Footer- designed in HTML.

You should finish with a full screen shot of your page on your BLOG. thanks
