Final Project Proposal

---

Overview

• A web for a small business (Jack's Photography)
• A web detailing a hobby(The NASCAR circuit)
• A web for a celebrity fan club (The Indianapolis Parrothead Page)
• A web of professional resources (History teacher's guide to the Internet)

The proposal

• Statement of the problem
  In plain English, describe the goal you wish to achieve. Describe the needs that prompted you to ponder the problem. For what is the the web intended? What is the project's purpose? How will the project help your intended audience?
• Audience Statement
  Who is your audience? Is your audience geared towards specific interests? What type of background knowledge does your audience have about the subject addressed by the project? State something about your audience's demographics.
• Tools
  What tools will you use to accomplish your objective? Break your tools into separate components and describe each. How will you use each tool?
• Design Considerations
  How will each page look? What type of color scheme will be used? Will the color scheme be different for each page? How will pages be divided? How will my directory structure look? How will users navigate the site?
• Site Map
  The site map should be a rough sketch detailing the logical flow of your site. This is a good way to plan site navigation.

Grading Criteria

• A An A project will go well beyond the expectations stated above. Earning an A requires original work that goes beyond what has been covered in class.
• B A good project that does all that is asked above and moves a little beyond what we did in class, works properly, succeeds in solving the problem and shows some imagination will earn a B.
• C A project that meets the minimum requirements or is missing one or two of them will earn a C.
• D The project deserved an F, but there was some redeeming feature. May meet a minimal amount of criteria.
• F The project was unfinished, completely unoriginal, or completely inadequate. The project fails to meet the majority of the criteria.
• Zero If the project was a work of plagiarism (beyond the expected borrowing of scripts). Borrowing and modifying scripts is acceptable, with an author's permission. However, plagiarism also constitutes failure to credit the author(s) of modified scripts. Please give credit where credit is due. Any evidence of work that is not your own (other than said scripts and borrowed images) will be dealt with severely.
