Activity 1: Visit this website containing some of the worst designs of 2011 so far. Why are they so bad?

Read the website and fill out this table with what you think are the basic rules of GOOD web-design.

Activity 2: Use VoiceThread to label pictures of at least two websites describing where you see good and bad design features. Upload to your blog.

Activity 3: You are going to put together a chart topping band. You will create a website for them so their fans can keep up with what they are doing. The website should give lots of interesting facts about the band and include photo's, concert dates, and lots of other band related information. 

Research some band's websites to see what sort of information is contained on them. Make a blog post containing all of the most important things your website should include.

Activity 4:Plan your website. Complete this sitemap showing the structure of your website (each box represents a webpage) and the contents of each page.

Activity 5: Update this Project Log with the work you have done so far in this Web Design project. Your job is to try and keep this up-to-date every lesson.

This will help you plan your project better and help you to remember what you have learned.


Activity 6: Create two Banner designs for your website. Use any appropriate software. Save both design as JPEG images and save to your blog as evidence.
