Assignment 7: Final Website Design Project
*Submit Assignment into D2L
Create a website of your choice, focusing on design, content, and layout… This final assignment will help you practice website-building skills, including structuring pages, adding content, and incorporating images.
You can choose to build this as an actual website online with your choice of any website building platform, OR, you can also just choose to focus on the design and layout of the website with your choice of any design tool such as Photoshop, Canva, etc.
1. Choose a Website Topic
- Select any topic you’re interested in (e.g., personal blog, portfolio, small business, hobby site).
2. Navigation Menu Structure
- The website must contain a minimum of 5 pages, for example:
- Home Page: Introduction or main landing page.
- About Page: Describe the purpose of the website or share relevant background information?
- Gallery/Media Page: Showcase relevant images or media related to your topic?
- Contact Page: Include contact information or a form?
- One more page?
3. Page Content
- Each page should include relevant text content (a minimum of 1 paragraph per page).
- Add titles and subtitles for a clear and organized layout.
- Use a minimum of 1 image per page. Images should be relevant to the content and high quality.
4. Design Elements
- Use a cohesive design theme (consistent colors, fonts, and layout styles).
- Ensure that each page has a header and footer with basic information or links.

I’ve put together a list of the following questions to help myself as an instructor, as well as our Graphic Design Department as a whole, create better experiences for our students in the future… Everything you’ve experienced in our class this semester is based on feedback from students last semester, and any feedback you can help contribute as well will continue to make our program and classes even better…
- What was your favorite or most memorable part of the class that you enjoyed this semester? Why did you enjoy it so much?
- How about your least favorite? Any specific reason why?
- What did we miss? What topics might make this class even better?
Once again, great work all around everyone. I had an absolute blast with everyone this semester. Thank you all so much. -Dustin
