DUE THIS THURSDAY
1. Post your third blog entry by midnight. If you have the time, blog with your classmates. Develop a supportive community of bloggers. For a list of your classmates’ blogs, go to the blog page. Also encourage your family and friends to blog with you.

2. Turn in a storyboard of your personal Web site. Be sure to read the excellent information about storyboarding at http://journalism.berkeley.edu/multimedia/course/storyboarding/

OPTIONAL: If you want to raise your grade on your font poem, please put the revision in the slot this Thursday. Also turn in the comments from Carol, the L&G and your classmates. If you do NOT revise your font poem, turn in your classmate’ critiques so they can get credit.

Due Tuesday, September 26: Bring in at least eight digital pictures that tell a story. You’ll create a Flash slide show for your personal website. These must be pictures shot for this class, not photos you’ve taken in the past. The pictures must include one example of each of the following:
     • rule of thirds
     • framing
     • depth
     • lines (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, triangular and/or leading)
     • an unusual angle (from up high or down low)
     • at least two verticals

Your photos need to tell a story. You need a strong opening or establishing shot, at least one detail and a strong closing shot.

If you don’t have a camera, you may borrow one. You’ll need to take more pictures than you’ll actually use in your slide show. They say the difference between an amateur and a professional is the number of photos you throw away.

OPTIONAL: Come to Nancie’s class every Tuesday and Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in our classroom (Stauffer A-114). No quizzes, no grades!

DUE NEXT TUESDAY
1. We’ll have a quiz next Thursday, September 28. Hand in three questions and answers on filenames, color, navbars, typography and/or design. I’ll use some of them on the quiz. No Dreamweaver questions, please. They’ll be on the next quiz.

2. Finish styling your résumé with CSS and make sure it’s in your STUDENT folder, NOT THE SLOT. If you’re not happy with your navbar or color scheme, this is the time to change it before you get too far down the road with your personal Web site. If you need help or advice, come to see Carol or go to the L&G’s lab on Tuesday.

3. Bring in at least eight digital pictures that tell a story. You’ll create a slide show for your personal Web site. These must be pictures shot for this class, not photos you’ve taken in the past. The pictures must include one example of each of the following:

OPTIONAL BUT HELPFUL: Review Dreamweaver.
