Introduction This unit is designed to introduce you to the practice of creating a basic website. Through research, analysis, planning, design and development, you will progressively acquire and build upon fundamental skills to produce and deliver a working website using HTML5 and CSS3.

You will be guided through a process of developing design ideas in a conceptual way and then translating those ideas into a website using code. Research will play an important role in your learning process as you gain knowledge and a deeper understanding of Internet Design. It is expected that this unit will provide a touchstone that stimulates thought and curiosity in relation to your own practice in digital design and technologies.

The learning support materials and resources provided with this unit should be used as a guide to facilitate independent inquiry and research, exploration, questioning, visualisation and risk taking.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Capabilities

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Exercise 1: Website Investigation (25%)

INTRODUCTION

Throughout the study period, you will research, plan, design, build and deploy a responsive single page HTML/CSS website, of a topic introduced to you by the tutor in the first week. This exercise will introduce you to the research phase of the web design process, through exploration and understanding of similar real-world websites. It will also facilitate your first steps into conceptualising your own website design based on the topic options.

Research is a crucial step in the process of developing a website, as not only does it inform the planning and design phase, but it sets the entire project on a production trajectory. Adequate research at the outset ensures this trajectory doesn’t need to be adjusted further into the production. Your objective for this assessment is to investigate existing design solutions relevant to your class topic, and draw design direction from these existing examples to assist in your design concept for part two. You will need to reference design terminology and observations, including investigations into information design, layout, responsive break points, colour, typography, usability and flow, just to name a few things. It is a good idea to leverage your understanding of universal design principles to assist you in this stage.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Through the process of researching, planning and executing this exercise you will:

l Understand strategies and approaches relevant to delivering an accessible, responsive and engaging website production

l Identify common web design conventions and reflect on specific approaches that may be relevant for your own production

WEBSITE INVESTIGATION MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

You will investigate existing websites from your allocated topic or theme to reveal insights into not just the end user, but also how to design for the researched demographic. Keeping in mind that websites are designed to be used, you will investigate user-centric factors influencing the design of similar themed

websites, and draw conclusions to form a direction for your own website design project. To assist you with this, you may leverage the provided template on Blackboard, but it is strongly recommended that you take the time to construct a design template to showcase your investigation. This document should summarise your understanding of the target competitive landscape, through detailed analysis of a reference website, along with supporting examples. Your document will go further to identify key considerations to direct your own website development.

The investigation should consist of the following components:

l Summary of subject landscape l In-depth analysis of reference websites (leveraging design terminology to demonstrate

understanding of design directions used on the examples) l Key findings to highlight direction for design

SUMMARY OF SUBJECT LANDSCAPE (max 300 words) It’s important before proceeding with a website production to understand the area in which the site aims to stand and compete. Spend some time exploring examples of websites from your topic area, and build an understanding of shared attributes - common objectives, content and structural features, technical considerations. Summarise your understanding of the subject area, identifying elements you consider to be of strategic importance in developing a similar website.

IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF REFERENCE WEBSITE (max 1000 words) At this point you should have visited a number reference websites, and you should focus your analysis on one you consider to be a strong example in this landscape. Using your selected reference website, identify and elaborate on how you believe this website performs in the following areas:

l Content organisation How is the information ordered and presented? What is the overarching message or selling proposition? Who is the site aimed towards? This should reference persona and target audience.

l Structural layout How has the page been divided to accommodate various elements? Is there a clear balance or priority to certain page elements? Provide a wireframe analysis of your selected website to elaborate on these findings. This should reference information architecture and information design.

l Responsive approach How does the site perform at various screen sizes? Is the content suitably presented at mobile device ranges? Has any content been excluded at smaller sizes? Provide a screen grab at generic desktop (1280px wide) and mobile (320px wide) sizes, and highlight common content areas between the two. This should reference the ‘reflow’ of information and usability components.

l Visual engagement Does the aesthetic suit the content? Has the design impacted on the presentation of information, positively or negatively? Is there a consistent regime evident in use of colour, type, spacing? Highlight, where possible, colour palette and fonts in use. This is all about visual brand and consistency.

When reviewing each of these areas, try to make specific reference (via screengrabs) to any elements or attributes that can further illustrate your observations. You should also provide supporting examples of other sites using a similar approach.

KEY FINDINGS (max 300 words) Having reviewed your example site, along with several other reference websites, you should collate and provide a number of key findings relevant to the development of your own website. Identify your target audience and define their general expectations as visitors to your site. Summarise your desired approach to meeting the needs of your target audience, by articulating potential features in design, content and structure.

Your object here is to highlight key considerations, objectives and design choices YOU should be making for your own design in the second assignment. Failure to draw key considerations may hinder your conceptual development in the second assignment.

2. Exercise 2: Website Design Document (35%)

INTRODUCTION

This assignment sees you move to the design phase of your website production. You will leverage your findings from the first assignment to develop a range of concepts through a sketchbook, experimenting with type, colour, information design, layout for both desktop and responsive devices, navigation and overall visual branding. You will be required to develop quality wireframes to propose how your website will reflow to format responsively on mobile devices. At the end of this assignment, you should have a strong conceptual proposal to build on for the execution phase of the assignment (where you will code your final design). Suitable time and care should be spent to develop a design that you want to see through to a final product.

While the design phase requires a creative mindset, there are also a number of established guiding principles for how you approach foundational aspects of your design such as layout, spacing, typography, imagery and use of colour. A successful, engaging visual theme respects these principles without appearing generic, it takes advantage of convention without a loss of identity. You are required to justify your experiments and final design proposal through the use of the research performed in the first assignment, and further research done related to visual design and development. Failure to adequately justify your design decision making will drastically reduce your grade outcomes for this assessment component.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Through the process of researching, planning and executing this assessment you will:

l Understand the importance of design planning and iterative production l Reflect on the fundamental principles that underpin a successful web design concept l Identify and resolve common issues inherent in responsive web design

WEBSITE DESIGN DOCUMENT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS





You are required to conceptualise a range of visual solutions to develop a single page responsive website aligned to your topic set in assessment 1, and present a final design proposal to execute in your final assignment. Throughout the process of development, you will define final visuals including layout, imagery, typography and colour, information design and responsive design solutions. Your concepts will showcase the design theme at a standard desktop monitor size, and again at a size appropriate to small device formats. To assist you in developing your design proposal document, you may leverage the provided template on Blackboard, but it is strongly recommended that you take the time to construct a design template to showcase your design proposal.

You are expected to follow an iterative/agile design approach for this task – meaning you should be showing designs in class for feedback well in advance of the due date for this assessment. By doing this, you will have a stronger design result, and a clearer target to hit for your final assignment.

The Design Concept Proposal consists of the following components:

l Wireframes l Sketchbook l Final Design Concepts

WIREFRAMES Wireframing is a crucial part of interface design, as it allows the designer to explore a series of layout options for comparatively little effort. Provide evidence of your wireframe development, including the wireframes you have decided to take forward into your final concept design. The wireframes should clearly showcase information design, reflow of design elements and demonstrated understanding of grid systems in practice - with added justification for the design decision making.

SKETCHBOOK Creating a design theme is an iterative process, involving the exploration of suitable options for aspects such as colour, imagery, typography and common element treatment. In your sketchbook, provide examples of how you’ve explored and refined each of these theme aspects, along with some supporting annotations to clarify your design thinking. You should aim to include examples of work in layout, typography, colour schemes, visual branding and link/button theming. The visual design exploration should reflect an agile approach to design, with feedback and adjustments annotated alongside design iterations.

FINAL DESIGN CONCEPTS Your final design concepts should be the successful marriage of your research, planning and thematic curation. Design concepts are the visual blueprint taken into website implementation, and should be treated as such - elements should be as close to final as possible. This is broken into two components – information and layout design resolution including responsive formats, and visual design resolution. Your final design concepts should reflect exactly what the final design should look like, and as such should be polished in nature.

Your final design concepts should be:

l Full colour artwork, depicting the final intended colour scheme, navigation, image style, typography and layout of your website’s homepage

l Presented in two formats - desktop (1280px wide) and mobile (320px wide). Height is arbitrary, but your design should showcase the full layout from head to foot.

l Populated with final text content and relevant imagery. At this stage, you shouldn’t show placeholder text or images.

All concepts must be your own original work. You must not base any of your work on existing templates or website designs, they must be crafted from scratch. Inclusion of any individual third-party graphical material is permitted; however, they must be referenced as part of your Design Concept Proposal, according to the Chicago Author-Date format.

If you are unclear on any of these requirements, please discuss them with your tutor. Material detailing the planning and design phase will be covered in the weeks leading up to the assignment.

DELIVERABLES





You should collate your wireframes, sketchbook and final design concepts into a single PDF document. Download the provided Assignment Cover Sheet (see Blackboard site) and include it as the first page of your document.

Keep in mind, for your final design concepts, you are aiming for a close-to-finished concept presentation. As much as possible, your design should be decided upon and refined to a satisfactory standard, as it will become the reference piece for our work in build and implementation.

When filling out the front cover page, don't forget to type your name into the space provided under 'Declaration' to confirm the exercise is your own work, this will suffice as a 'digital signature’.

File Format: The submitted exercise must be in Adobe PDF format. File Size: The submitted PDF document must be no larger than 10MB. You may need to use a PDF compression utility/service to reduce your initial file size. Be careful, however, that compression doesn’t compromise the fidelity of your design concepts. File Naming: The submitted file must follow this naming convention “GRDE2011_12345678_LastName_A2.pdf” (Note: A2 stands for “Assignment 2”) Where to Submit: On the Blackboard website, go to the ‘Assignments’ section of the site and scroll down to find the Dropbox for Assignment 2. Upload your PDF document to the dropbox by the due date. Due date: Week 8 - at the start of your class.


The ASSESSMENT CRITERIA for Assignment Two is available in Blackboard by following the links: Study Area > Assignment Templates & Rubrics.

3. Exercise 3: Final Website Implementation (40%)

INTRODUCTION

In this exercise, you’ll take your finished design concepts and use them as a reference to build your proposed website, using HTML and CSS. You’ll prepare a working set of files and upload them to the web.

A successful website production sees a seamless translation of your design concepts for the browser, thoroughly tested, accessible and free of any errors in code. As such, your working files must be valid, structured correctly and follow appropriate naming conventions. You will be assessed on your ability to translate your proposed design into a fully functional single page responsive website – this includes your HTML/CSS, design and responsive reflow.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Through the process of researching, planning and executing this exercise you will:

l Come to know the role of HTML and CSS in the creation of basic webpage l Consider the implications of how content affects accessibility and search engine optimisation l Understand how to test and optimise code and imagery to best serve the needs of your users

FINAL WEBSITE IMPLEMENTATION MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

You will build, test and upload your Final Website Implementation, and provide an accompanying Progress Report to reflect on changes and challenges throughout your production process.

Your Final Website Implementation must adhere to the following requirements:

l Your website must be built using HTML and CSS alone. You are not permitted to utilise any third-party libraries, plugins, frameworks, languages, helpers or code-generating editors to assist in the production of your files. You are not permitted to base any part of your work on an existing design or template.





l Your website must be built the demonstrate basic responsiveness. at a minimum, you must present two responsive breakpoints in your CSS, to present your site at a common desktop size (1280px wide unless otherwise argued) and a common small-format size (320px wide unless otherwise argued). You are not permitted to use any responsive libraries or CSS frameworks to assist in your website production.

l Your website must consist of at least two HTML pages and at least one external CSS file. All pages must be fully functional and visually complete.

l Your entire website, including images and any other local media, must occupy no more than 5MB of disk space.

l HTML pages in your website must be navigable to and from each other, via the use of links with relative paths.

l Your website must include the following HTML elements: 1. Headings and paragraph tags 2. At least one list (ordered, unordered or definition) 3. A table, containing tabular data 4. Anchor tags for in-page and cross page linking 5. Images

l Your website must include the following CSS techniques/attributes: 1. Floats and/or positioning 2. Media queries 3. Hover styling 4. Transitions

l Your website should not include any dynamic elements that require Javascript or other programming languages to perform. Common website components like stylised image galleries, carousels or slideshows, as well as user-submitted content features such as reviews, comments, blogs or forms, are technically out of scope for this assignment.

l Any content created by an external source must be cited using the Chicago Author-Date referencing format in your Progress Report and ‘in-situ’ within your HTML files as ‘code comments’. Every page in your website that contains copyrighted content must display the following disclaimer in its footer:

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course. Assessments under investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.

You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.
