Presentations

How about some volunteers...If I don't get any, I'll just go alphabetically by the class links page.

Final Exam Stuff

Can you believe it's just one week before the final exam? Unbelievable. Well, you have nothing to fear if you've been coming to class and reading. The final will focus mainly on Document Design (Ch. 5-9) textbook, and there will be very little material from The Non-Designer's Design Book.

Make sure you know the following:

• Spacing between lines and letters
• Various names for types of fonts
• Typeface fundamentals
• Extratextual elements
• Color and ways to talk about color
• CMYK and RGB
• Ethics and visuals--images and graphs, charts, tables

The final exam will be fill in the blank, short answer, and an essay-ish question that will ask you to identify ______, _______, and _______.

Finish Web Pages

I know you'll ask, so here's the answer: your webpages should include the material listed on the website section of the assignments page. There is also information on the webpage startup page. Make sure you have links to all your webpage classwork on your index page, and, once again, check the page to make sure your link works. I screwed up a few links. Also, don't forget the groupwork discussions--color, typeface, etc.

Next Week: Final Exam

One more to go! Next week I'll pass back portfolios and give you your final exam.

Final Exam: 12/13 @ 6:30 pm--Please check to make sure you don't have any conflicts.
