Assignment 1: Domain name
Domain name registration and design.
Art 356 for Tuesday | 2008 01 29
We discussed many things in class today. If you took notes you will see that this week end can be a busy one for you.
1 – please explore typographic treatments for your domain name. After class I went to google and I typed in the search field “design blog”. You should do the same and surf around looking at as many design related sites as you can find to get a feeling for type treatments and for the types of names other designers are using. Keep a list of the urls that you visit and be prepared to share them. You can pull them up on the computers in class.
2 – Are you familiar with excel? I suggest you start a new file and call it something like “computer workstation costs.” On one column, start listing all the hardware that you have or hardware that you wish to purchase in order to have a design workstation. Then list the software. Gather prices. Do not use DoIT’s site for pricing as those prices are student prices. In this excel sheet add the cost of buying a domain name and a basic hosting service package with the name of the company.
3 – did I forgot anything?Have a good weekend – Jim
