HTML posters

A project by Kristian Bjørnard with students at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), presented in Ellen Lupton’s book Type on Screen (2014). In French:

Bjørnard a demandé aux étudiants de créer une affiche uniquement en langage HTML, CSS, avec un peu de JavaScript. (…) Certains étudiants ont choisi de rendre hommage à l’histoire du design, en recréant des compositions célèves de l’histoire des médias imprimés dans le cadre limité du web.

the JS clocks

Design a self-contained website that measures time (hours, minutes, possibly seconds or milliseconds).

In other words, create a digital watch face, filling a screen, written in HTML/CSS/JS (and maybe SVG).

Possible improvement: if you want to focus on “best development practices”, you could have the students work up to a certain point on their project, then re-assign them randomly. Students will have to complete and debug the code of another student. This will be a lesson in code readability. See this Github thread.
