All -

Here are the Week 9 files covering frames and the meta tags (located in the sample.html file). Be sure to study for your quiz next week, and make sure that you have some sort of rough draft to work with during class.

Also, don’t forget about the Web Design and Interactive Media club meeting on Tuesday, March 11 at 5:00 PM.

See you then!

OK, guys, here’s all the Information Design stuff for the final. Take a look; the final requirements are listed in a Word document here, and you can find those requirements in the original syllabus for the class.

Email me with any questions or leave me a comment.

I’m usually not one to get emotional when public figures pass on, but this particular man, Myron Cope, left an indelible mark on the city of Pittsburgh, on the world of sports, on the National Football League, and on the millions of people who came to know and love him.

He was an accessible, down-to-earth broadcaster with the heart of a fan. He was an intelligent, passionate, and insightful columnist, sportswriter, and analyst. He connected with the people of Pittsburgh because he was, and always will be, the voice of our Pittsburgh Steelers.

And what a voice it was. A former student of mine (from Ohio) described him as “Gilbert Gottfried with a stammering problem.” People who weren’t born and raised in the city of Pittsburgh simply could not understand why we, as fans, would sit and listen to him on the radio instead of listening to the color analysts on NBC, ABC, CBS, or Fox. The truth is, the network analysts weren’t colorful enough.

Myron was black and yellow, red-faced with passion, blue-collar in mentality. He was forged in the same molten orange of the steel mills of our fathers, and always had an off-color comment at the ready to counter the dry wit of Bill Hillgrove (or so many of his other broadcast partners). The only color he wasn’t was Cleveland brown.

But above all, Myron Cope had a heart (and a towel) of gold, and he will be missed.

Hey gang …

Wow, week 8! Here are the Files for IMD132 Week 8 - Tables (including layout) as covered in class. Study for next week’s quiz!

Also, get me your proposal if you haven’t already!

1. Write me a 2-3 paragraph proposal for your final web site.
2. Add images, colors, and style (fonts, etc.) to your assignment from last week.
3. Review the Week 7 class notes and files in preparation for next week’s quiz on images, color, and fonts.

Hey gang …

Here is the Radio and Recorded Music Power Point from Week 5. Study this and your reading from the textbook for the quiz next week.

Here is the ZIP Archive of the Week 5 Code Examples and Files. Remember, a proper file structure is vital to your site structure, and if you’re stuck in a subfolder you have to use ../ to get up one level.

The assignment due Week 6 is:

You will take on the role of a web page editor in charge of assembling links to a topic of interest. In this role, you will create two pages that document your topic (anything from aardvarks to zoology).

Your first page will introduce your topic in a paragraph or two. You will provide a link to a second page (which you will create) that will contain lists of topics linked to other web resources.

1. Create a new folder with your last name as the folder name.
2. Create two HTML pages in your folder. Your first web page will describe the purpose of your page. The second is your list page.
3. Link them together (i.e. provide a link from Page 1 to Page 2, and from Page 2 to Page 1).
4. On Page 1:
  a. Create a definition list of three terms applicable to your topic.
5. On Page 2:
  a. Create a paragraph introducing your topic
  b. Create an unordered list using square bullets
  c. Create a second unordered list using another list-style-type
  d. Create one ordered list using uppercase letters
  e. Create a second ordered list using numbers
  f. Create a third ordered list starting at 25 containing three items.

Hey everyone … here is the IMD121 Week 4 Power Point from today’s class.

Be sure to study for your midterm exam and enjoy your week!

Color chart (courtesy of pagetutor.com) - remember to use the # sign before you type the code. (e.g. #123456).

We talked about a lot of the building blocks, and here are the example pages for you to use for review and study. Remember, your assignment is due next week and please study for your quiz next week, too!

Here are the notes as shown in today’s class: Basic Elements

Remember to reset your TextEdit Settings: New Document Settings in TextEdit and Open Document Settings in TextEdit

Also, here is a file showing a Document Shell - Required Elements + Paragraph. These are the required elements for any page (minus the paragraph tag, natch).

For some reason, Week 3 is when I throw the kitchen sink at you … and I think we got a lot accomplished.

Here is the Power Point presentation covering Week 3 - Navigation and Search, and I also want to make sure you have access to Jesse James Garrett’s “Elements of the User Experience” resources.

Please read through Chapter 2 of “Elements”, and refer to the Simple Planes diagram for a visual detail of the concepts.

Finally, for wireframes, take a look at gdoss.com for information and examples of a variety of different wireframe formats to follow.

Please read Chapters 7-8 in your text, and I’ll see you next week.
