Website Assignment
 
Assignment: Use your knowledge of typography, color theory, and layout (CARP) principals to create a website for your literary journal. Keep in mind that you will include your use of basic design principals (color, typography, contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity) in the final report of your project at the end of the semester.

Website: The design of your website is optional and should be based on your experience, or the experience of your web editor. Make sure to include a homepage, submission guidelines, and bios of your editorial board. You should also add links to your social media pages. The rest is up to you, but make sure that you take this freedom seriously. Your website should demonstrate an appropriate amount of investment.

You will include snap shots of the website in your final report and your exhibit at the end of the semester.

Tips: You will notice that I've added links to the schedule with websites that display excellent web fonts and color palettes. It is likely that you cannot use these particular fonts or colors since your website is dependent on the web-builder you use. However, you should read through the descriptions of why these fonts and colors work. Even though you may not have access to Open Sans, it might lead you to something similar like Arial or Helvetica.

Note to the Copy Editor: Please keep in mind that part of your group's final grade is based on the congruence of your journal which includes the design of your website. Therefore, you should lend an eye in the development and overall editing of this assignment.
