Midterm Assignment!

Your Midterm Assignment is going to be to take the knowledge and work you've accumulated in the course so far to create a mock-up or prototype of your own personal Portfolio Website.

Remember the common Elements of a website:

• Header Section
• Logo & Title
• Navigation

• Body Section
• Page Content
• Text
• Images
• Video

• Footer Section
• Your Name
• Date of Creation
• Copyright Information

You must have at least 4 Pages:

1. Home Page
2. About Page
3. Gallery Page
4. Contact Page

Do Your Research

Look at what websites you regularly visit look like. Think about how their navigation is laid out. Think about what their backgrounds look like. Think about the fonts and colors they use. 

Option 1:If you choose to just do a mock-up you only need to create a still image of each page of your website. Note: If you don't have enough work to fill the gallery page use filler images for now or create some simple pictures you can use.

Option 2:If you choose to make a prototype you need to make sure your navigation links work and move between pages. Choosing to make an interactive is a bit more ambitious than just making still image- so if you take this option it will add bonus points when your project gets graded.
