Monthly Assignment #5

Assigned: Monday, Feb 25
Due: Monday, March 3

I strongly encourage you to consider doing this assignment if you have not already completed two monthly assignments.

Option 1: Design a web page (or site)

Create a website or at least two separate pages on your Purdue account. If you already have a site there, consider adding to or updating it.

The content may be general (for example, explain a concept in your major or create an informational page on your home town) or about you personally. Alternative versions of existing sites (for example, a more student-friendly look for the Purdue student page or an updated club page) are fine too. If you create a personal site, make sure it's something you're comfortable submitting for a grade.

To turn in this option, email me a link to the site. If you already had content there, your email should clarify what you created or updated for this assignment.

Option 2: Web Design Analysis

In class, we looked at some bad and okay websites. For this option, pick a website whose design you really like and (in a memo) explain why. Your analysis should display a solid understanding of the design principles from class and from chapters 10 and 14 of the textbook.

Option 3: Graphics

Ideas: Discuss how you've learned to read and interpret a specific kind of image used in your major field; analyze a good or bad graphic; find an unethical graphic and explain why you think it's unethical... etc.
