Homework 7

Project summary:

(1) Create a sort of "standard" HTML landing page using the Twitter toolkit.

(2) A short report describing and discussing your design

Requirements:

  • Create a single HTML page that could serve as landing page (e.g. a home page or a topic entry page)
  • Make use of the Twitter classes as much as you can
  • You are allowed to have broken links.

The short report:

  • It should shortly explain your design, e.g. what you aimed to achieve for all media !
  • It should include references/sources used. Be careful to respect general Webster rules about plagiarism.
  • It should shortly explain what you did in your CSS.
  • It should point out problems you encountered.
  • You can use any format for the report (e.g. HTML, PDF or Word).

Examples HTML+CSS:

Due:

  • Wednesday week 7 before class

Submission:

  • Upload (a) the HTML file, (b) the CSS file(s), (c) all the picture files and (d) the report to the world classroom (hw 1). Creating a *.zip file of everything is the easiest solution.
  • Make sure that the upload worked (e.g. don't forget to hit the submit button)

Evaluation criteria:

  • Requirements (presence of CSS elements) - 20%
  • Visual design / originality - 30%
  • Usability - 10% (is the text readable ?)
  • Technical quality (CSS structure and documentation, valid HTML and CSS) - 20%
  • Presence and quality of the report - 10%
  • On time - 10 % (only 2 days late = 5%)
