 Today’s goals:

  • Review Pixlr.com boss design challenges
  • Work on school website re-design and use website mark-up and prototyping tools

 Today’s featured website:

 Pixlr.com review

  • Just take a look at our digital “art gallery” and be proud!
  • Don’t forget to add any image you made that you’re particularly proud of to your online portfolio on our class website.
  • Cropping/resizing (make sure to constrain proportions) and changing the canvas size (options for adding to top/bottom height and left/right width).
  • Please take this quick Pixlr.com survey

 School website re-design

  • The school website is being re-design to be more visual and mobile-friendly (responsive)
  • We want to go from here to here
  • This is what we have so far
  • To do:
    • Look at the current site. What do you think is most important (for parents/students/staff)? What do you think should be highlighted? What do you think should be easier to find?
    • Go to http://coment.me/. Add this link: http://demo.themegrill.com/spacious/. Leave comments on what content from the current school site you think should go in each spot on this template- include thoughts on text and pictures.
    • Optional- sign up for FluidUI.com (free account). Choose desktop/website application under “designing for.” Create a mock-up of the home page for the school site but make sure to use the existing template as a guide.
