Before you make your web page, make a rough sketch on a piece of paper to show where all the various parts of the assignment will be located. Make sure I see the sketch before you begin. Make a website that looks like a newspaper. It should:
- have three columns.
- have a title or heading like "The Sun," "The Journal," or "Leader-Post."
- have a newspaperish color.
- use at least two different fonts with at least two different styles like italic, bold, underlined, or regular.
- have a box where you run an "ad" for something appropriate and in good taste.
- have appropriate articles. They don't have to be true, but try not to just cut and past something. Have a bit of fun with it.
Your assignment will probably look something like what you see on the right. (Click on the picture if you want to see a larger version.) Now make it look funky.
- Add a couple of pictures.
- Stretch an article across more than one column.
- It should look attractive and be something that shows pride in your accomplishment.
As you think about this, remember that something like this would make use if at least one table.
- Keeping your table columns standard widths will help.
- Know what your column widths are and make your pictures multiples or that.
- Make liberal use of COLSPAN and perhaps ROWSPAN.
- Don't forget to include TITLE tags.
