due 10.10.05

• Final comps
• purpose/objective
• To use templates in order to iterate out the
  designs for an entire site.
• To design the most effective user interface for
  your targeted audience.
• To defend the conceptual merits of your own
  designs.
• To meet the needs and deadlines dictated by your
  client.
• assignment Based upon the feedback from your 2nd
  round of comps, make the necessary changes to
  transform your designs into their final form for
  viewing to the client. You need to produce at
  least two versions. All pages from your site map
  must be comped to completion (yes, all sub
  pages). Pay attention to the details (spelling,
  curve quality, pixel alignment). All comps should
  include the final images and copy (no lorem
  ipsums).
• format no less than two designs in two different
  thematic directions. You may do a third if you
  would like to show a third design to the client.
  Use Photoshop to execute your designs digitally.
  Technical details
• x number of JPEG images (the number x depends
  upon how many pages are in your site map) in at
  least two different thematic directions (1000
  x 800 pixels in dimension, 100 max quality
  compression). For your midterm you CAN NOT
  present in Photoshop (by hiding and showing
  layers), you must present still images. Please
  put them all in one folder no subfolders. Use a
  clear and recognizable naming convention to be
  able to jump around during the critique. These
  designs are meant to be given to the client to
  take home with them.
• Revised site map along with your comps, please
  revise your site map, and save it out as an image
  to show the client during the critique.
