Computer Project Standards

To create instructionally sound and interesting projects, it is necessary to set a few standards. By following these standards we can be sure our projects are of high quality. We can also feel confident that when they are viewed by other visitors, our projects will represent our best design and development efforts and will be something we are proud to present.

Language

Use noncontroversial names or numbers to identify your group. Do not use slang, or rude names.
Use correct English punctuation, spelling and grammar. Have your checker make sure all your screens are error free.
Do not use questionable vocabulary, slang terms, or curse words.

Type and Font

Use no more than two different fonts for headline text in sizes from 36 - 72 in bold style. Informational text needs to be in a text box using New York or Times font in 14 point size using the plain text style.
Two different styles (bold, underline, shadow etc)

Graphics and Sound
