Summer 2021 Web Design at RISD — Assignment 1

  • Do not edit this file.
  • Do not start this project until you have read these instructions carefully.

Instructions

This assignment is designed to get you to understand how to combine content and markup semantically. There is not a CSS component to this assignment, and thus, no design aspect to this project.

Create a single web page using the content under the Headings section below as the starter content, along with some images from the web. Include all your HTML in the included file index.html. Images — discussed below — must be placed in the img folder.

Before You Begin

  1. Log in to GitHub.
  2. Fork this repo(sitory). See this video on how to carry out this step and step 3.
  3. Clone your fork, using either the web site or the GitHub Desktop client.
  4. Checkout your personalized branch, the one with your name and GitHub user handle.

You’re now ready to start working. Note: This is the submission protocol for all four projects. Thus, make sure you understand it.

Page Title

Add content you feel is appropriate to the title element.

Headings

Use the outlining algorithm to mark up each of the following items, sans em dashes. Note: The content below is in random order. Part of duties for this assignment is to organize it properly, which will likely require that you search online for names you do not recognize.

Susan Kare
Artists
Salvador Dalí
Engineers
Matthew Carter
Influential People
Typography
Frida Kahlo
Linus Torvalds
Designers
Art
David Carson
Engineering
Tim Berners-Lee
Typographers
Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jan Tschichold
Håkon Wium Lie

Quoting

Search online for quotes about — or by — four people listed above. You must provide a source for each quote. Place this content where you feel is most semantic. See MDN’s blockqoute entry for ideas.

Images

Once you’ve marked up the content under the Headings section, search Creative Commons for images of one person per discipline. (You may only use images that are in the public domain or that are governed by a Creative Commons license.) Employ these in your project — either link directly to external URLs (for example, <img src="http://www.site.com/image.jpg" alt="">) or place your images in the img folder (for example, <img src="img/image.jpg" alt="">).

Pay attention to image ratios, as these will inform your design. If need be, alter the images so they respect ratios you’ve chosen. See MDN’s img for more.

Validate

Make sure Atom continually reports No errors were found! in the lower left hand corner as you work. Solve validation issues as you work — don’t let them accumulate.

Due

10:00 PM on Wednesday, 30 June 2021.

Submission

You will need to issue a pull request back into the original repo, the one from which your fork was created. See the Issuing Pull Requests section of this site for help on how to submit your assignment.

Note: This assignment may only be submitted via GitHub. No other form of submission will be accepted.
