SWAIN Re-Design

As a web developer, your sense of aesthetics may come into play, but will always take a back seat to the wishes of your customer.

The real challenge as a developer isn't creating awesomeness; the challenge is creating awesomeness from something that isn't awesome. (ie. Washington DC, SWAIN, Class of 1960).

With that in mind, your next project (due before class on Thursday) is to make several versions of the SWAIN re-write.

Your SWAIN versions must reflect each of the following ideas/ motifs/ themes:
  1. Happy - Bright - Bubblegum
  2. Evil - Dark - Foreboding
  3. Green - Nature - Alive
  4. Canton South - Wildcats - I.T.
  5. Whatever you want ($10 iTunes card for the winner)

Other design constrains:
  • Change colors, fonts, sizes, styles
  • Must add image backgrounds to some divs
  • Must create and use a new SWAIN logo for each version
  • You may add content but must include everything we've done up to this point
  • This project will be curved based on average class design ability
Again, this project is to be uploaded to SWAIN (all 5 versions) before class Thursday.
