DES 512 + DES 513
During the second semester you have two design modules: DES512 - Major Project, and DES513 - Design Presentation and Reporting.
This page contains the announcements for both these modules, if you can't find what you're looking for here, please check the individual weeks' pages.
Colophon
The colophon serves as a post-project report, reflecting on the Major Project and outlining any outside contributions to the project, from code libraries and frameworks to stock photography and illustration.
The colophon should be linked from the footer of the Major Project website.
At a minimum the colophon should contain the following:
- Your name, short bio
- A link to your portfolio/main website
- Lift Pitch (50 words)
- A short description of the project (executive summary, 250 words)
- Contributors
- A list of any external resources uses, including frameworks, libraries, fonts, stock photography, illustration - in short, anything not self-generated.
For an example of a very thorough and exhaustive piece of work, please take a look at David Turner's colophon from last year.
