Digital Presence Project

Summary:

The Digital Presence Project asks students to produce two complementary documents using grid design techniques:

  • A QR-code-enhanced business card (3.5" X 2")
  • A profile webpage (.html and .css)

To produce these documents, students will invent hypothetical businesses and complete design plans articulating the documents' rhetorical goals and strategies. The QR-code-enhanced business card will link to the corresponding profile webpage. Both documents will be produced using grid design techniques covered in class. The QR-code-enhanced business card will be delivered as a press-quality .pdf file. The profile webpage will be uploaded to the corresponding student's UNCW webspace and the resulting URL will be submitted to the instructor.

QR-code-enhanced contact cards will be submitted using DROPitTOme. Before submitting, students should title their files using this nomenclature:

  • lastname-firstname-card.pdf

Once the file has been named correctly, follow these instructions:

  1. Go to this website: http://dropitto.me/jtirrell
  2. Enter the password "tirrell"
  3. Click the "Choose File" button, select your document, and click "UPLOAD"
