FINAL PROJECT: DESIGN, EXPLORATION AND APPLICATION

Week 15 (02/08/2024)

Objectives:
  1. Create a single-page website dedicated to your favorite topic. This project will help you develop your web design and development skills while allowing you to showcase your passion for the topic of your choice.

Requirements:
  1. Artist Selection: 
    • Choose your favorite topic as the subject of your website. 
    • Ensure you are genuinely interested in the topic, which will help you create a more engaging website. 
    • Decide the site's goal to ensure that the site has clear content.
  2. Content: 
    • Your content should have at least 5 sections that explain the topic of interest. 
    • You should also include one CTA button that reflects the content.
  3. Design Elements: 
    • Choose a color scheme and fonts that reflect the artist's style or your taste. 
    • Ensure a visually appealing layout with a balanced use of text and multimedia. 
    • Create a responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes (mobile-friendly).
  4. Navigation: 
    • Implement smooth scrolling navigation or a simple menu that allows users to jump to different sections of the page.
  5. Interactivity: 
    • Consider adding interactive elements such as image sliders, hover effects, or lightboxes for multimedia content.


Progress:

Contents & Sketches

I selected "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" for my website's subject and listed the contents in Google Docs, including the title, about, author, manga, and collaborations.

Before I sketched, I found some ideas on Pinterest to get some inspiration.

I then started to sketch out the layouts. I chose Sketch #4 as my final design.

I decided to use a minimal color scheme: black and white colours. This helped to keep the design clean and avoid a cluttered look. After that, I did the prototype design in Figma according to Sketch #4.

This was the overall look of my prototype design.

HTML & CSS

Before starting on the HTML and CSS for my website, I listed the fonts and color codes here to make the work easier later on. 
  • Fonts: 
    • Vollkorn: Introduction, headings, and subheadings.
    • Merriweather Sans: Menu and normal (paragraphs).
  • Colour Codes: 
    • #000000 (black colour): Sections 1, 3, and 5.
    • #ffffff (white colour): Sections 2 and 4.

I began by typing all the resume contents in HTML with Adobe Dreamweaver.

Then, I worked on the CSS. I tried my best to make it look as similar as possible.
