For Oct. 13th

Here are links we will either use in class or that you will use for homework. Remember, too, to post about blogs, sites, or design during the week, and to add comments to posts before next week.

• From Harper's Magazine. This site goes with the text we had and is useful in understanding how to work with hypertext links.
• Here are links to the EyeTrack III study and its findings about web viewing. Read about the study and then look at the study online. Make a list of guidelines that will apply to your work on our ITL site.Poynter Online - Eyetrack III:What News Websites Look Like Through Readers' Eyes
• Here is the link to the color in news design instructional module. Before class next week, look at each section of the site, and be sure to do the exercises included in the sections. When we work on our site's design, your understanding of these issues will be critical.

When you get out in the world of work, you probably won't be an artist or do layouts unless you are working for yourself, but you need to know the vocabulary of design so you can collaborate effectively.
