Posted on by

Assignment

Refine your site concept and create a preliminary sitemap for the site/app. Experiment with one of the prototyping tools we discussed in class and build a prototype of the mobile view of your new site. This only needs to an outline. No need to do a full design treatment at this point. We’ll use this as a starting point for laying out the mobile version of our site when we return.

Use Kuler or a similar tool to generate a color scheme for your web site. You should make note of the hexadecimal color values of your scheme. If you need more information check out the following post on deciding on good colors.
