Describe the Good or Bad elements that led you to choose this site.
Describe the Good or Bad elements that led you to choose this site.
- If Good, what makes you like this site, what about it appeals to you? What rules of design did it do a good job of following? Could it be better?
- If Bad, what makes you NOT like this site, what elements of design does it break or not follow at all? How would you improve it?
- How long did it take you to make a decision about this site? Why?

Portfolio Web Design Project
You are creating a website using Weebly. The theme is "What is Digital Media?" The site will consist of 5 pages of visual layout design, text, graphics, and media.
Each page should have the same look and feel as the previous page. The 5 pages of areas of Digital Media will showcase examples of your work from the entire semester. Make sure to spell check all words - points will be counted off for spelling and grammar. Use the file to the right as a check sheet to answer the questions for each page and which files to put on your site. |
