Select one of the three specializations (Web Technology, Digital Design or Motion Graphics) covered within the Digital

Media and Web Technology major.

Using the Internet, and/or other valid, academic references, research two (2) of each of the following:
Choose two (2) theories (Gestalt, Color, Human-Computer Interaction Behavior, Graphic Design, etc.) used in the

specialization you selected. Theories are a conceptual understanding used to explain how or why something occurs.
Describe each theory and then relate it to how it specifically impacts the creation of digital media within chosen

specialization, as opposed to only providing general content that could apply to any digital media specialization
Choose two (2) best practices (Accessibility, Grid System, CSS, SEO, etc.) used in the specialization you selected. Best

practices are the methods or techniques commonly accepted within a field that enable the production of work that is of

the highest quality.
Describe each practice, explain why it is a best practice, and then relate it to how it specifically impacts the

creation of digital media within chosen specialization, as opposed to only providing general content that could apply to

any digital media specialization
Choose two (2) technologies (this includes languages, hardware or software such as a certain kind of page layout

software like Adobe InDesign, Wacom tablet, HTML5, etc) used in the specialization you selected.
Describe each technology, explain how it is used, and then relate it to how it specifically impacts the creation of

digital media within chosen specialization, as opposed to only providing general content that could apply to any digital

media specialization.
Research must include a minimum of FIVE (5) valid, academic references. As the field of digital media is constantly

changing, no reference may be older than five years.
