DMD218 — Advanced Web Design and Develo
This course takes DMD 116 Web Design and Development to another level and has a two-fold focus. A state-of-the-art Web design program will be used to explore advanced Web production skills such as layers and table-free layouts, templates, re-usable elements, external Cascading Style Sheets, XML, automation of dynamic HTML, and site management. Through projects, the course will also cover more advanced design concepts in Web site creation, such as efficient navigation design, designing for portability and accessibility, separating content from presentation for easy site updating and maintenance, planning interactivity, and search engine optimization. Throughout the course, students will also review how to adapt the basic principles of design to the Web environment, particular how to use color and typography creatively in Web design, and how to achieve effective Web page layout.
