I need help with the Penn Foster FINAL GRADED PROJECT 40242100: Now that you’ve completed the exercises and the examinations for Introduction to Internet Multimedia, you’re ready to complete the graded project. For the graded project, you’ll consider some ideas for your Web site and determine which media you’ll use. Next, you’ll use a flowchart to organize your ideas for the site and spot any possible problems. You’ll then create the storyboards showing the design of your Web site. YOUR TASK You’re going to plan the steps in designing and developing a Web site for a fictional company, sports team, or organization. Think of your interests and come up with a topic you’d like to use for this project. OBJECTIVE The objective of this project is to show how you’ve learned the concepts in this course to plan what’s needed to create a multimedia project from start to finish. It will also give you practice in understanding and responding to clients’ needs. PROJECT GUIDELINES Analyze Ideas By now, you’ve learned the importance of planning a Web site before you begin to create it. It helps you focus on what your Web site is about and who it’s for, and may save you countless hours of tweaking. G r a d e d P r o j ec t G r a d e d P r o j ec t 66 Introduction to Internet Multimedia For this project, you’re going to envision a Web site you’d like to create. You’ll begin with idea analysis. Turn to page 248 for a list of questions you can think about for this project. Write the Executive Statement Make sure you can answer the following: ■ How will people use this Web site? ■ What will users gain from this Web site? ■ What types of features will be most useful to the users of this Web site? Once you’ve answered these questions, write your answers in an executive statement of at least 250 words. Write the Creative Strategy Think about the look and feel of the Web site. Consider the multimedia elements you want to include on your site, such as text, images, and video. Write a description of your creative strategy of at least 250 words. Create Your Team Think about your strengths and weaknesses for the resources you need to develop your project. Perhaps you’d like to work on graphics or writing, or maybe you’re more project-oriented and would rather handle the overall management. Think about the other talents you need to pull together a strong team for your project. Write a description of your multimedia team in at least 250 words. Final Graded Project 67 Create Your Storyboards Now it’s time to think about how you’re going to design your Web site and what elements you’re going to use. Create storyboards for each page of your Web site, keeping the following guidelines in mind: ■ Create your storyboard using whatever program you like (e.g., Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, scanned drawings, a wireframing tool) ■ Ensure your site is a minimum of five pages. ■ Include a minimum of two forms of media on each page (e.g., graphics, sound, video, and animation) in whichever way you choose (e.g., embedded or linked). ■ Include at least one of each of the following types of media (not all necessarily on the same page): ➢ Graphics ➢ Sound ➢ Video ➢ Animation ■ Save your files and note the filenames to give to your instructor (e.g., yournamestoryboard.doc or yournamestoryboard.ppt). ■ Make sure you answer the following questions in your storyboards: ➢ Have I created a clear navigational structure? ➢ Have I chosen appropriate typography? ➢ Have I chosen appropriate colors? ➢ Have I chosen appealing media that matches the tone of the site? ➢ Do my media have acceptable download times? 68 Introduction to Internet Multimedia WRITING GUIDELINES 1.
