Ch 1: Web Design

Assignment 1a - Site Analysis (opens new window)

Assignment 1b - Mock Website

You're reading it! It's silly and/or wacky, and must require little or no effort on my part.

Target Market   Forced viewership includes LVS instructors & classmates. Other than that, the Brat, Ellis, Tchaikovsky and Emma must all be appeased on a regular basis.

Assignment 2a - Site Analysis (opens new window) I believe this page speaks for itself. It was amazingly easy to do. innocent look.

Assignment 2b - This IS a revised site! And NO, you can't see the first draft. It used CSS for placement of the spine and wasn't 100% crossbrowser consistent. Sigh.

Attn Grabbing  Probably not; Slackers have a very short attention span so what would be the point? (Remember, a slacker created this site and has already lost interest in it. wink)

Compelling   Naw, there's no motivating a slacker. Besides, what's so compelling about homework? (Rhetorical, no answer required.)

Req'd Reading   TV Guide, obviously. Oh - you mean this site? The plan is to use a tiny font size so no one feels compelled to read it, just bask in the simplicity of the design.

Navigation    There are no pages, so navigation shouldn't be too hard. But yes, there is consistency to the navigation I ~gasp~ planned at this point.

Rememberability   This slacker desires to fade into the background, so if you remember this site please try hard to forget it. Besides, it won't be the same in the future anyway. It's going to be Tips/Tricks & Cheat Sheets for, um, anonymous students. evil grin.

Return Again   My target market will be forced to return to look at my assignment at some point, so this is a moot point.

Assignment 3a - Site Analysis (opens new window) So-so navigation, awful[ly good] consistency in layout. WOW! This site stinks.

Assignment 3b - Let's see, why did I choose this design? Um, "Slacker's Handbook"... slackershandbook.com.... gosh, not a clue!

Assignment 4 - They're all super! As soon as this class is over I plan on plagiarizing every single site my classmates have developed. :-)

Assignment 5 - Oh for crying out loud. To read a PC Version of my opinion re Browser Upgrade Initiative, ; to read my unpopular views in all their glory, click here.

Assignment 6 - It's completed!!! Kudos to the Instructors for a very informative and lively session. It would be purrfect... if not for that tiny bit of heresy I crossed out in my copy of the lesson about Flash movies!! shaking head. To see how I rated at least one of the instructors, don't miss my all new bio page!
