In-Depth Information
considered a message, something that must be read and understood by the user.
A photo is an example of a graphic asset. A text animation is an example of a
multimedia asset. Let's start to get our content recognized and organized. The
concept statement will help us move forward and get our content in an order.
You should list your proposed main and sub navigation titles in the concept
statement under Navigation. Then you will list the major text assets and major
graphical and multimedia assets that you will have to prepare for the Web
portfolio.
The concept statement allows you write out what you expect to publish in your
Web portfolio. It is a rough statement of what you will need to get for the
project. It provides a scope for you to polish and perfect as the Web portfolio
process moves further.
A Word about Navigation Headers:
Develop the main categories and sub categories of the Web portfolio based on
your expected content. These are
main
and
sub-navigation headers
. To
keep things simple, we identify our main categories of information within the
concept statement. These categories will become text or graphical navigation
buttons. Each navigation and sub navigation category header will be a page with
content.
Here is my concept statement starting with navigation items:
