Project 6: Due week 7, beginning of class.
2 More Page Designs for the Clothing Site:
All 3 pages should show the SAME look: same header, navigation, & overall style.

1) Home Page (example: Levi's Home Page)
Introduce viewers to the look and feel of the clothing line. The home page often features a large photo of a new product, or a decorative collage of various products. The goal of the home page is to make it clear what types of products are available, and to set the "mood" for the viewer's shopping experience.

2) List Page (example: Levi's List Page)
Show a variety of products within one category. Include a selection of thumbnail images of products, so that the viewer can select a product to view.

Navigation:
- Include at least 3 global navigation items.
(for example: "shirts, pants, shoes".)

- Include at least 3 sub-category items.
(for example, in a "shirts" category: Long-sleeve, Short-sleeve, Tanks, Jackets, Sweaters)

Format:
3 individual JPEG files, one showing each page design.
