Website Written Plan, Sitemap, Sketches, Storyboards
Final Project (Project 3)
20 points

Due: April 7
- class discussion/critique on that day


The purpose of this assignment is to help you plan the details of your proposed web site. These materials will literally function as a textual and visual reference guide throughout the site design process. You will be given the opportunity to revise it based on my comments and/or any change in plans that may occur as your site develops.

Keeping in mind that your written plan, sketches, sitemap and (particularly) storyboards may change, when you turn in your final project, you must also turn in the most recent versions of these documents. Part of your final grade for Project 3 relies on how closely the final product matches the planning materials.

Issues that must be clearly spelled out in your planning materials are as follows:

  • A detailed textual summary of how you plan to execute the items from your proposal (typed).
  • A flow chart (or similar graphic) that visually depicts the layout of the proposed site
  • Detailed storyboards (much more detailed than you did for Project 2, because the site will be more complex) visually depicting what one will find on each page of the site. Be sure to include navigational items such as graphics and links.
  • Any sketches or other inspirational materials. If inspired by a website, print out the page of that website that brought on the inspiration.

Please remember that the more thought and effort you put into this part of the project, the more smoothly your entire project will flow. In web design, planning is everything, and it's very important to have documentation to work from before even beginning production work on the computer.

You will show your sketches, flowcharts, storyboards, and any other planning materials to the class during a critique/discussion on April 7. Please be prepared for this.
