For this project I learned how to use Brackets, create an online resume and how to include an image with a link to take you to a desired page. I also learned how to include images onto the page.

I found this project difficult in the sense that I have never used Brackets before, so I had no idea which codes did what. I didn’t know how to make certain items go in certain places, but I kept to a “basic” design, to make sure that it did not look messy. By keeping it more basic, the codes felt easier to type.

My submission could probably be improved if I experimented with more on Brackets. It seems a little simple and almost too basic. I tended not to do too much more than what we were shown. If I asked how to do somethings, I might have been able to do more with it.

The professor did a really dice job showing us this project, but one thing that I think could be improved would be if we were given a page or sheet that went over some codes to use on Brackets. That way we could experiment with even more features.

I can use the knowledge that I learned from this project in potentially future projects or if I wanted to make something else on Brackets or change my resume again. I can put certain icons and link them up to the page that I want to send you to when you click on them. For example, I used this with social media icons.

A specific article that influenced me was the article “The Cult of the Complex” by Jeffrey Zeldman. he talks about how sometimes, simple is better. I made my resume pretty simple so it will be easy to follow. I also used a font that is easy to read with colors that are not distracting. This helps focus the reader’s eye. Being simple is not always a bad thing.
