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."

You'll still have time to adjust/change your mind, but I want to start nudging you to commit to the type of site you'll be making. Is it going to be a photography portfolio site? A site to sell  apparel? A travel blog? A journalistic site? An art site? Decide what "genre" of site you'd like to make, and find three examples of well-designed websites that already exist in that genre. So, if you're making a design portfolio site, find three portfolio sites for designers. And then: 1 .  Write and print out a list: what were the elements you liked about the sites you picked? What are the elements you disliked about the sites? What elements would you like to incorporate into your own site? The could be use of palette, organization, navigation, use of images, use of fonts, etc. 2. Create a wireframe for the homepage of JUST ONE of the sites you pic...
