This exercise requires you to analyze wireframes detailing the architecture of a website and design a content type to store all the required information.
Goal
Figure out which fields should be included in a content type based on a wireframe.
Prerequisites
You will need the following knowledge and skills. If you need a review, check out the Additional resources section at the bottom of this page.
- Plan the site building process from a set of requirements.
- Compose a table of fields which can be used to store data appropriately.
Wireframe reference
You will need to refer to the wireframe collection PDF.
- Review Page
Tasks
Analyze each page on the wireframe to derive what fields will be required to represent a Movie Review content item. For now ignore content in the header and footer.
The format of your spreadsheet should be as illustrated below:
| Field Name | Data Type | Description |
| Movie Title | Text | The title of the movie |
| Movie Image | Image | An image from the film |
| Movie Review | Long Text | A review of the film |
| Link to IMDB | Link | A link to an external site |
