Assignment #4—Designing for the Web

Software: Adobe Photoshop
Objective: Design the home page for a small creative agency or studio’s web site.
Description: Create a web presence that is appropriate for a creative business. It should be usable, but should also look good and position your company above the rest.
Due date : Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Requirements:
- Make it look like a legitimate creative entity who large clients would trust.
- Must contain at least these navigation items:

- design it to be a primarily HTML-based site, not all Flash
- design rollover states for buttons, other interactive elements
- use layer sets
- should use a combination of art & type styles, both bitmapped and anti-aliased (smooth)

Recommended:
- use bitmapped fonts to represent HTML text
- use anti-aliased fonts to represent image text

Examples: look here or here for pretty good examples of local agencies/firms
