Project 4 assignment details
- 1. Project 4: Presentation on Mobile/Tablet Design For this week's project, you will create a presentation in PowerPoint or Keynote that examines the impact of the growth of mobile/tablet use on web design and convinces your prospective client that they should invest the time and resources to make sure their website is up-to-date. You can use the same company you used for your information architecture report in Week 1 or you can use your own company or a client or prospect of yours. Your presentation should consist of at least 10 slides and not more than 20 slides that contain images and bulleted text (please do not use large blocks of text). Begin with a title slide that includes the title of your presentation, your name, and the date. You will need to include your script in the “Speaker’s Notes” section at the bottom of each slide. Assume you would be presenting this to someone, so you don’t need to include every word on the actual slide. In your presentation, cover the following: How much mobile and tablet usage has grown and estimated future usage How mobile and tablet usage has impacted web design What current technologies can be used to make websites accessible on all devices What you recommend a business should specifically do to make sure their websites can be accessed and used on mobile and tablet devices 1-2 bad examples of websites that don’t work well on mobile/tablet devices 1-2 good examples of websites that do work well on mobile/tablet devices Keep in mind that your presentation should be persuasive - make it interesting and convince the viewer that they need to start thinking about mobile. To get started, read the following articles (you can also find your own articles for additional research): 1. http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2011/03/10-ways-mobile-sites-are- different-from-desktop-web-sites.php 2. http://www.netmagazine.com/features/mobile-first 3. http://blogs.sitepoint.com/7-tips-to-make-your-web-site-mobile-friendly/ 4. http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2011/01/designing-for-the-mobile- web-special-considerations.php 5. http://sixrevisions.com/web-development/mobile-web-design-best-practices/ You must cite your sources either on the bottom of each slide or include a References slide at the end.
