What did you learn?
I learned how to design and create a website using figma. I also learned the little things like how to design a nice looking functional website with pages that make it an enjoyable and easy experience using the site.
What was easy?
This project as a whole wasn’t to challenging I thought that everything I did wasn’t too complex. It was more moving things around to make sure it looks good.
What was challenging?
The most challenging part was finding the best way to make the typing on top of my big back screen photo be visible. I did have the idea of putting the light gray rectangle behind the typing, but didn’t realize that I could make it fade with the background enough to where you can read the typing as well as not completely ruining the background picture.
How could your submission be improved?
I think that I could have taken better advantage to the length of each pages. I know on my social page I was able to fit everything I wanted, but I could have extended it and spaced out my photos a lot more.
How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
I think this was a good project. I like how it brought back all these other labs/projects to apply in project 2. It is really cool that we have the opportunity to make these websites ours and possibly even something we use in future endeavors.
How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
I think that having the knowledge and ability to create a functional website is an amazing skill to have. In case find myself wanting to start my own company or a side hustle I will have the ability to build a website for my customers to visit.
How did a specific reading or video found outside of class inspire or help you?
Earlier this year in my Digital marketing class we learned how to build a landing page. We didn’t do as much design as we did for project 2, but I learned how to build a visually pleasing and easy to use website.
