Design Scheme for the AIPE Project

Put together a "Design Scheme" for your AIPE Project. This will include:

1. four or five pieces of content--images, chunks of words, lists, fonts represented in a .gif or .jpg, color swatch .gif (see example at right)--all inserted in a simple, visual list (a verticle stack of items) on a blank HTML page and posted to the web (in "www/4230/exercises/scheme1").This page is not your project, but only a platform for storing some possible elements that may be included on your actual page later.

Steps:

1. On your USB drive, be sure you have created a folder "aipe" at the top level of the folder "4230." Also check that there is an "assets" folder inside of "aipe." If you need to, create these folders.

2. In Dreamweaver (with the "www" site selected from the drop-down menu at the top of the "Files" panel), create a new blank page (File > New > Blank Page > Create)

3. Before inserting any images, save the page as "scheme1.hmtl" inside of "aipe"

4. Save all optimized images (.gif or .jpg only--no .psd's!) in the "assets" folder inside of "aipe"

5. Insert images onto the page from that "assets" (after saving!)

6. Paste in verbal content and format as desired. Note that if you're pasting from Word, you will need to choose Edit > Paste Special > Text Only, or hit Command+v+shift and click OK.

7. Title the page with your first and last names and "AIPE Scheme"

I will ask for the URL at the beginning of class.

2. At the beginning of class, I will also ask you to submit a formal, correctly written, thoughtful paragraph explaining how these pieces of content will work together to suggest two or three themes that are drawn from your autobiography. This paragraph should attempt to explain what your AIPE page will only be able to suggest through "indexical" pointing. This paragraph will eventually become the "Unity Paragraph" in your project Commentary.
