Due Thursday, Oct. 4 at 5:45. We’ll have a crit at 7:00.

In this assignment you are given some text and some graphics files. Your job is to make a multipage web site out of these files. You must use all of the graphics files and the site must be under 100K. Decide how large you want to make each of the images and what is the best way to compress them. (JPEG, GIF … )

You will need a number of files for this project.

I’ve put the files you’ll need in a zipped folder, which you can download here.

They are all PSD or Illustrator files so you will need to convert them.

Here’s a list of the files

  • diver.psd
  • sand_water.psd
  • deepdown.psd
  • fish2.psd
  • beach.psd

This assignment will help you become more familiar with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
