ADV3551: Tues Morning Web Design Students

Unfortunately due to the holiday schedule I won’t be meeting with the Tuesday morning ADV3551 again this week.

For those who are looking to take advantage of this break and stay ahead of things, the next homework assignment will be the following:

  • A site map diagram that shows the architecture of your site. This diagram will also help you to determine what your navigation will be.
  • Wireframes for your homepage, and any/all layouts used throughout your site. This should be simple outlined boxes with labels for what each box will contain.
  • Keyword list. This should consist of both words and phrases that your site will be about. Think about each page on your site, and begin a list of terms. You keyword/phrase (bulleted) list should be at least full page in length (single spaced).
  • Finalized designs. You should definitely continue to be working on the branding and design of your site. This extra time away should help you to solidify how things look.

Feel free to email me additional design versions and improvements by Tues so that I might give you additional feedback.

Welcome Students Fall 2012

Welcome students to the Fall 2012 semester in the department of Advertising Design & Graphic Arts at the New York City College of Technology, CUNY.

This semester I will be teaching 3 courses:

Students can find the course syllabi on the main navigation above—course description, requirements, week by week outline, grading. Sometimes the course may be adjusted to accommodate for class progress and changes in technology that could require additional attention.

You will be required to have purchased web hosting from an internet service provider, such as Kionic.com, and will need to purchase a new domain appropriate for the major project of the course. These required purchases are in lieu of a required textbook.

Please sign up for the email subscription appropriate to the course you are enrolled (see Email Updates in main nav). This is how I will be communicating to the class as a whole outside of class hours. Subscribe using an email account which you check regularly.

My office hours will be on Tues 1pm – 2pm and Thurs 5pm-6pm. I recommend that you make an appointment in advance to ensure that I am available for you.
