Use the following chart for self-assessment of your project (it shows how I’m going to grade it):
| Possible Points | ||
| DESIGN COMP: | ||
| 1 | File Format (layered PSD file, correct size, and resolution) | 1 |
| 2 | Good Page Form (looks like a webpage) | 1 |
| 3 | Complete Page (i.e. includes content) | 2 |
| 4 | Creative and Refined | 2 |
| HTML PAGES: | ||
| 5 | Minimum of 4 pages | 2 |
| 6 | Page Design roughly matches Design Comp | 2 |
| 7 | Working Pages (i.e. working links) | 1 |
| 8 | Shared/External CSS file(s). Don’t forget to use reset.css | 1 |
| 9 | Significant Page Content | 1 |
| 10 | Good Coding (i.e. use of viewport meta, fluid layout, ALT tags, Page Titles, proper use of floats) | 1 |
| 11 | Site has a unique design that does not include any elements (visual and code) from the class demos. All pages include actual content (not greeking) that supports website concept. | 1 |
| Total Possible Points | 15 | |

- Refine layout (align screen elements, don’t crowd content, etc.)
- Improve the contrast between background and foreground elements
- Use more compatible colors
