web publishing I

VCIM1570, Cuyahoga Community College, Fall 2011 • Foundational web design, planning and construction with emphasis on web standards, usability and accessibility. Students construct web pages in (X)HTML and CSS using basic text-editing software. Topics include analysis of how and why a website succeeds or fails, aesthetics and visual design for web, planning, creation, uploading and registration of sites, troubleshooting, search engine optimization and basic marketing strategies.

I remember the days of press type, ruling pens and blueline mechanicals. Today many people are unaware that there was ever a time when graphics were developed by means other than digital. While I embrace technology, I also adore the tactile world. I’m hoping this class helps me foster a union between both sensibilities.
