Detail Required for next handup

Most projects have now completed 2 iterations of basic design. After you apply the feedback given to you at class, you need to get into the DETAILED design. But what level of detail?

Well you need layout grids, specs for styles, colours etc. To help with this I will post 2 bookmarklets for FireFox which will help.

Database fields need to be refined to the appropriate type and size with verification/validation rules. Relationships between tables need to be shown and described. Queries that are required for the system need to be described / created. (if you use access you can create the queries visually and display the SQL which can be cut and pasted into your design doc)

All stories/walkthroughs should be FULLY visualized. A site map (with indexing) can help reviewers see the whole system and get the detail of each subsection / page. Use the indexing consistently throughout.

You should have a DETAILED DESIGN DOCUMENT already stated by now. Please use styles in creating this.
