HOMEWORK:

Project #1

** Make a WIRE FRAME & SITE STRUCTURE **

this week: 

- familiarize yourself with HTML & CSS, start planning the website
- do some research 
- get (or make) digital images of artwork

You can start by picking a subject and/or artists.
Choose a title for the exhibition, find or make up a location, and start making sketches for the website. 
Please have some (approximately 10) images to work with.
You could also find a video or two (on YouTube or Vimeo).

When planning your CSS styles, start by coming up with a limited color palette.
Think about how the overall color scheme can complement the artwork that you will be displaying on the webpage.  




Remember...

(1) a flash drive or hard drive: 2GB or more

(2) *Personal Web Space (Towson user accounts are fine)
