Your landing page "redesign" of the Mudcat Blues Band should clearly demonstrate the design principles: contrast and alignment. It should have a well-designed navigation bar with clear, understandable labels/buttons. It must be the pixel width: 1280x1024.
Here's an example from last semester (note: the content is slightly different):
Use my feedback from the in-progress layout from last week to develop your final masterpiece!
It should have the following content:
- Logo/banner and navigation design (Assignment 9) (including logo and subtitle: "American Roots Music")
-
Text content (Week 6 Assignment 10 in-progress design assignment)
Intro text: Danny ‘Mudcat’ Dudeck is an internationally known gospel and bluesman. Mudcat continues the traditions of the early blues pioneers while adding his own Mudcat edge, resulting in one of Atlanta’s greatest treasures. He regularly performs his Bayou-baked chicken-party revues at Atlanta’s premier blues club, Northside Tavern.
