These should be legible enough that you could hand them off to someone else and they would be able to make the site template (without content) for you. These sketches should show that you have taken into consideration the visual DESIGN of your site with the concepts we have been discussing in class. Bring to class:
1- final project site map + hand-drawn sketches of each page of the site in COLOR
2- a typed list that shows how you've addressed or not addressed the following elements:
point, line, form, texture, color, type, pattern, movement
balance, rhythm, proportion, dominance, unity
