Assignment 1
Creating and Posting Web Pages with Media Elements
Submit before 11:30 PM Friday January 15
Overview
You will create a simple Web page that features your hometown and incorporates a media element of your own choosing.
Requirements
Develop a Web page presenting information on your hometown (or neighborhood or street). It should contain the following:
- A short description describing your hometown, description of the picture, your life there, etc.
- At least one link referencing a page for further information.
- A variety of tags, some using the style property. However, your page should not use any deprecated html tags (e.g. font) that denote physical display and are better specified with style properties.
- At least one style property and value that were not presented in class.
- Incorporate at least one original media element of your own choosing. It can be an image, an audio clip or a video clip.
An elegant page with effective writing, clean formatting and a good balance of white space, text and image will merit a high score. Gratuitous animations and other gimmicks will lose points! Your HTML code (source code) should also be neat and well organized.
Deliverables
Your page should be posted on the internet. That is, you will need to transfer your HTML file to the web server at studentweb.cdm.depaul.edu. Then, using the D2L submission, tell me the URL of your hometown page. Generally, assignments that are not posted on the internet will incur a 2-point penalty.
