Web Design
Exercises- Does your local newspaper have a web site? If so, examine the difference
in design between the print and online editions. Which do you find easier
and more interesting to read?
- Evaluate your local newspaper's web site according to the web site checklist
on page 238.
- Visit the newspaper web sites recommended on this site (link to recommended
sites as mentioned in sidebar on page 232). How do these sites compare to
your local newspaper's site? See if you can find features or design elements
that would improve your local newspaper's site.
- To code an entire site you need experience and software, but if you've never
used HTML before, try coding the sample article in Chapter Five, exercise
2, referring as needed to page 233 of the text or to a basic HTML tutorial
such as http://www.hotwired.com/webmonkey/teachingtool/.
- If your local newspaper (or, say, your local high school paper) does not
have a web site, try drawing up a planning map for it, following the example
on page 232.
