Do not wait until the last minute. Physical papers that are not in my mailbox before I arrive on Tuesday, November 26 will not be accepted.
  • UI Sketchbook (final checks on Wednesday, December 4): Choose a specific screen size and create a 404 error page for your Dragontown website. A 404 error page loads when the page the user is looking for does not exist. The tone of the text is generally apologetic and helpfully indicates that the URL does not exist in plain language. Do a little research on examples of 404 error pages and create 5 different options. Each sketch should be detailed with specific text, layout and imagery. Designs should align with your brand. NOTE: all remaining sketchbook assignments are posted in the User Interface (UI) Sketchbook assignment sheet.
