Period 6 Class Monday, October 16, 2017

 Today’s goal:

  • Visually deconstruct website and create graphic

 Visually Deconstruct Website

  1. Choose a website
  2. Look over the visual design: colors used, page layout, images, videos, animations, graphics, and fonts
  3. Decide what message the site is trying to convey visually
  4. Example: https://www.nike.com/us/en_us/
    • My observations: Animated photos, sports photography, focus on NBA, light background, lots of images
    • Write your observations down somewhere (Google doc, computer desktop sticky note, Notepad or Notepad++, phone, piece of scrap paper). You will hand this into me.
  5. Choose one word that sums up your website’s visual message. In Nike.com example, it’s “competition.”
  6. Create a graphic with that one word and a background image. Use https://pixlr.com/editor/ to create your graphic. You should choose a photo that fits your word and style your text (font, color, size) to best show the meaning of your word. Example:
    competition
  7. Get images: https://stock.tookapic.com/, https://unsplash.com/, https://www.pexels.com/, or Bing.com (do image search, then search for free to share and use)
  8. When done: Let me know so I can look it over. Then email it to agoldsberry@medford.k12.ma.us.
