For Monday (4/5)

This is what I would like you to have to hand in, printed out and stapled together:

1. The main image people will see when they come to your homepage. If you don't already have an image that you know you want for your homepage, I'd like you to find an image that has the same "feel" as the image you'd like for your homepage (an "aspirational" image for your homepage).

2. The first sentence (or "headline") people will read when they visit your homepage. Try to think of this in terms of "voice" – not just a sentence that introduces people to what your site is "about," but which gives a sense of personality. It's the difference between "This is my photography website" and "As far back as I can remember, I've been in love with light." (Note: maybe, for a portfolio site, you just want to show an image with no text outside of the nabber – if so, write a sentence that will be the first sentence of your "about me").

3. A short paragraph – somewhere between two and five sentences – that people will read after that headline. Something that gives just a little more context for your site.

4. A wireframe (it can be drawn with pencil and paper) of your homepage, indicating what visitors will encounter on your homepage. This is just boxes, which could include things like – logo, main image, news feed, link to social media, etc – include what tabs your navigation bar will have.

An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a colleague who has been doing a little research on this. And he in fact ordered me lunch because I discovered it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this issue here on your web site.
