=Nov 15-19= ** Dreamweaver Assignment #1 ** ** About Me **

To begin the Dreamweaver unit, you will be creating a 4 page website that best describes yourself and the various interesting thing that makes you who you are.

Create a “general” homepage (remember to same this page as “index”), which will be used as a general introduction, with the other 3 pages being anything you want, as long as it is relevant to yourself (sports, clubs, family, pets, fav: foods, music, sports teams, books, activities….the possibilities are endless).

*NOTE: homepage = index, all other pages must have a relevant name!

**Requirements**: All elements must be aligned inside of a invisible table Pages saved and named properly Include a min of 1 pic per page Include a min of 2 rollover images= preferably in the navigation bar A min of 3 anchors Include a min of 1 hot spot Create a navigation bar that links all pages together A custom background must be created in Photoshop A custom banner- may be made in Flash or Photoshop Splash page(optional-bonus marks)- be creative in Flash with your splash page

** Graphics and Layout: ** Create a unified layout- Aligned images and text- dominant photo Colour scheme must be consistent, use [] to find a colour scheme you like. COLOUR SCHEME!!! (background, text, links and images work well together) Fixed table cells in pixels, other areas in % so it will fill different screens Design invokes elegance, maturity, balance and symmetry No clutter (everything spaced evenly) Check your work in various screen resolutions to check its appearance (if possible in different browsers.

CONSISTANCY!! CONSISTANCY!! CONSISTANCY!!

** Navigation and Linkage: ** Some pics/text must link to external pages, internal pages

** Content: ** All info in point form (no need for paragraphs) Font large enough and easy to read- consistent font. All images to be resized in Photoshop “save for Web” at the appropriate size so they load fast. Fix any colour or lighting problems with Photoshop.
