Homework: Wireframes & Mock-ups

Leave a reply

For the homework this week I asked you to create wireframes and mock-ups for the sites you want to create for the final project.
As part of this you are asked to print your work. These do not have to be high quality prints. A home printer is fine or one of the printers in the 11th floor labs will work. You don’t need to print out all of the pages. Just one or two to give a send of color and design for the overall project.
