Points: 10

Due: Tuesday, 04/21 @ 11:59pm

Summary:

Read through the Final Project Guidelines and write up a proposal for your website. The goal of this assignment is to help you structure what you want to make, and help me to find the best way to help you achieve that.

Guidelines:

Answer the following questions in your proposal:

1. Of the five types of websites I gave examples of (Portfolio, Web Tool, Web Art, Fan/Educational site, Other), which of these types are you going to create?
2. What general direction are you taking your site and why (for instance, if you're doing a portfolio, are you going for something minimal or elaborate? Why?)
3. What minimum technical requirements are you worried about implementing?
4. How are you thinking about approaching this website technically?
5. What specific things do you want to learn in order to make this website?
6. (optional) feel free to include any drawings or images that will help explain your idea to me.
