Artifact 5. The MLIS Guide

What is the requirement for this assignment?

My group members and I created a static website for an imaginary “client” consisting of nine interlinked pages with identical navigation. The “MLIS Guide” is a digital resource made to help prospective graduate students find programs, craft their applications, build their resumes, and secure financial aid.

What did you do – explain your work.

I coded two static pages and developed a visual identity for the site; logo design, font, color scheme, and WordPress theme selection. 

What was your role – group or individual?
