CHALLENGE #1 - PERSONAL RESUME WEBSITE (Due Wednesday, Sept. 29th - end of class)

For this challenge, you are going to create a simple 3-page resume website using Adobe Dreamweaver and Fireworks.
You will create 2 versions of the site - one using Dreamweaver only and one using Fireworks and Dreamweaver.
Follow the instructions below to complete the challenge.

FILE MANAGEMENT

Prior to starting the web pages (part 1 and 2), you need to prepare your file/folder structure to keep material organized.
In your Web Design folder that you created at the start of the course, create TWO subfolders: "RESUME_DW" (Dreamweaver) and "RESUME_FW" (Fireworks).
Inside each folder, you should create a subfolder called "IMAGES".
In the "RESUME_FW" folder (Fireworks), you also need to create a folder named "GRAPHICS". You will use this folder to save all your original Fireworks graphic files (NOT exported graphics and HTML files).

PART 1 - DREAMWEAVER SITE (2-3 days)

Using Dreamweaver (version CS4), you will produce a multi-page website that features the following:

Home Page (features "cover letter" information and links to other pages)
Work History Page (features personal work history similar to real resume - can make up some content)
School History (see above)

Text links to all pages in site
Graphic links to external websites (can use images from web as required or own graphics)
Tables to organize information
Title text for each page (formatted in Dreamweaver)
Well-written text (no spelling mistakes, etc.)
Proper page formatting and consistent layout, colours, fonts, etc.

PART 2 - FIREWORKS SITE (4-5 days)

Using Fireworks (version CS4), you will reproduce your site created in Part 1. The site will feature:

3 pages (Home, Work History & School History)
Original graphics (titles, buttons, etc.)
Rollover buttons for site navigation
Consistent graphics, layout, etc. for all pages
Pre-set SLICE for inserting an animated FLASH graphic (200 x 200 pixels). More info to follow!
Proper file management (folders, etc.) for exported graphics and HTML files.

You will then use Dreamweaver to create all required links to make your site functional and to insert FLASH media.

HOW YOU'LL BE MARKED

Your final websites (Dreamweaver AND Fireworks) will be marked based on the following:

Completeness (all required components included)
Layout and Design (well formatted, easy to read and use pages, consistent design)
Navigation (working links, clear navigation from page to page)
File Management (all files saved to correct locations and well organized - see above)

WHAT YOU'LL HAND IN

All files used to create BOTH websites (organized into two folders created at start of challenge).
"RESUME_DW" and "RESUME_FW" folders will be copied to your "HAND IN" folder (in our class folder).
All work will be submitted by the end of class on Wednesday, Sept. 29th
