Assignment 1_4: Responsive Layouts with added Color, Transparency and/or Gradients

Due for review Thursday, Oct 25 (beginning of class).

New in the last part of assignment 1 is the inclusion of color. Only one color can be added but it can/should be used in different ways: As a solid color, as a gradient and/or as a transparent color. Gradients can be color to white, color to black or color to transparency.

The color choice is yours but choose a color that you can use as a background for either white text or black text. There should be enough contrast in value between text and background to ensure legibility.

Restrictions and Rules

Same as in 1_3 plus the use of one color.

CSS

All you need to know about CSS color definitions is explained in this post.

Task

Create six responsive compositions In Illustrator and code two of those. As previously you can try to directly design (code) in the browser but I'd still like to collect PDF version of all layouts.

Upload/update your site folder including PDFs and coded files in Box.

Due for review Thursday Oct 19 (beginning of class).
