Assignment Brief Two
Deadline Week (16.03.2012) by 11.55 p.m.
Brief: Artist/Arts Organisation Website

Design and build an artist / arts organisation website. This will be a
website and related mobilised website* which will act as a promotional
tool for an artistic individual or organisation and which will increase
both profile and online traffic for the client.

The choice of artist is wide and could include musician, craftsperson,
writer etc. These must be real individuals, who are either known to the
designer or if not known then with sufficient background material
available (on or offline), to make an effective ‘mock’ website.
They can be real ‘live’ commissions if available.

Web Design: ‘HTML5 & CSS3’ & MOBILISATION
Design, build and deploy a minimum 5 page website in HTML5 and
CSS3 that should include examples of fully functioning Javascript
and/or Actionscript.

A one page scrolling website with easing acceptable as long as it
contains equivalent of five pages of content.

The website created in HTML5 should degrade smoothly to non HTML5
compliant browsers and also have a fully operational mobilised*
version.

Please demonstrate flair and creative design principles which show a
wide contextual base and sound technical knowledge of CSS3 and
HTML5 as a framework for deploying the interactivity.

Provide a professional design solution which is accessible and
standards compliant to WC3 guidelines http://www.w3.org/.

*mobilised = designed to be viewed on a mobile phone
