August 31 – Vote Oswego Planning

Class Topics

  • Start planning for the Vote Oswego project.
    • Look at the outline and consider the kinds of content you will have. Based on that content, what kinds of modules will need to be developed. Include everything—don’t forget the basics like navigation and a site identifier.
    • What needs do the audience members of the site have? Consider the student body (potential voters), the campaign staff, volunteers, and potential volunteers. Don’t overlook details like where and how students will use the site.
    • What skills does this project require? Who has what skills? Where is there redundancies? Where are there holes?
    • What do you need to know from Dr. Rank?

Homework

  • Mockups that consider key modules. Modules need to work across screen sizes.
  • Make sure you submitted a summary of your peer review from last class on Google Drive.
  • CSS Selector Game (provide screenshot of completing all levels. Due on Wednesday.
  • Grid Practice: Use a single grid to create the page layout indicated in the mockup. Design it so that if there were more articles added it would continue the pattern of the page. You are only allowed to alter/add/edit the CSS. Do not manipulate the HTML at all. Do not add classes or IDs. Due on Friday.
