Project Two: Description

Description
I will be handing out to everyone two lines from an e.e.cumming poem called this mind made war. You will design an one page website with your two lines. You may use imagery. You are required to link to each of your classmates site from your one page website. I will be collecting URL names- your odin account- to distribute and share with everyone. Your Odin account address should be- http://web.pdx.edu/~[odin account name]. For example my address is:http://web.pdx.edu/~mtrudo.

Required Elements
Photoshop layered document
1. Design one page website in Photoshop: layered document

In Dreamweaver:
1. Make a image link
2. Make a map link
3. Make a rollover link
4. Make a HTML text link
5. Make links to all your classmate's websites

Learning Objectives for Project
• Introduce organizational strategies and systems for both art work, production and website server hosting
• Learn how to design and produce [compressing] graphics ready for Dreamweaver HTML site construction
• Learn concepts of making "tables" in Dreamweaver to build your website
• Learning the basic of Dreamweaver palettes, tools and functions
• Learn how to FTP files to a server for a live site



FTP- File Transfer Protocol
Everyone will FTP your site to your Odin account on the PSU server. We can access our accounts using a FTP software. If you are on a Mac, you will most likely use Fetch or Cyberduck software/utility. Goto http://www.uss.pdx.edu/ for more info and to download a FTP software. PC's have different software then a Mac. For PC users there is FileZilla and many other freeware available.

Project 2: Poem

e.e. cummings
this mind made war


this mind made war
being generous
this heart could dare)
unhearts can less

unminds must fear
because and why
what filth is here
unlives do cry

on him that shat
they shat encore
he laughed and spat
(this life could dare

freely to give
as gives a friend
not whose who slave
unselves to lend

for hope of hope
must coo or boo
may strut or creep
ungenerous who

ape deftly aims
they dare not share)
such make their names
(this poet made war

whose naught and all
sun are and moon
come fair comes foul
he goes alone

daring to dare
for joy of joy)
what stink is here
unpoets do cry

unfools unfree
undeaths who live
nor shall they be
and must they have

at him they fart
they fart full oft
(which mind with heart
he spat and laughed



with self with life
this poet arose
nor hate nor grief
can go where goes

this whyless soul
a loneliest road
who dares to stroll
almost this god

this surely dream
perhaps this ghost)
humbly and whom
for worst or best

(and proudly things
only which grow
and the rain’s wings
the birds of snow

things without name
beyond because
things over blame
things under praise

glad things or free
truly which live
always shall be
may never have)

do I salute
(by moon by sun
I deeply greet
This fool and man
