Media and Design: Website Project

Posted by Anaya Thomas-Gomez in Intro to Design and Multmiedia on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 7:25 pm

For my media and design class I was responsible for making a website. This website was to basically be a source which can tell you about myself. During the process of creating this website, my teacher broke down each part of the website into checkpoints. For this project I made sure that I met all of the requirements that each checkpoint needed. When making this website I was unsure on how exactly a website is supposed to be creating. I had to try so many buttons on the website maker just to see what I wanted to use. A big problem I had was figuring out how to turn a blank page into a page of my own. Due to me doing this project I learned that I can do whatever I want as long as I put effort into it. I learned this because when in media and design class I would look at others progress and compare our projects. When I noticed something that they did well but didn’t know how to do it I pushed myself into figuring out how to get it done. If I did this project over again I would use my class time more wisely. Since I played a sport a missed class some days so I should've just got to work instead of communicating with others. If you plan on doing this project in the future I would suggestion having an idea of the theme you would like to use. Having this in mind will give you a better image in your head. This project inspired me to build a website for someone I know who owns a business.

Q1 Project: Website Design- Sakura

The purpose of this project was to create a website that showcases who I am. The project is supposed to include 3 pages. The pages you have to have on the website is an about me page. A page with your resume and a page project to show what you completed inside or outside of school. For the process of this project we had to complete certain checkpoints throughout the quarter to check on what we have completed so far on the project. Some successes I had doing this project was completing each checkpoint on time.

During this project I have learned many things. I learned how to use animation and features on this website. When completing the project I learned a little bit about myself. I learned that, I enjoy making websites, even though it frustrating at times. If I could do this project different I would have planned ahead of time what exactly I would have liked to have on my website so I can make it more visually appealing . If I could give someone tips on attempting this project it would be to plan/sketch out how you want your website to look and what you would want on your website. This project has inspired me to try new things because, I really don’t do anything outside of school. Also my website isn’t that interesting because I don’t do any curriculum activities. The message had dictated the medium because what I put on the page dictated how page design of it looked.

Design and Media Quarter 1 Project

In doing his project, I wanted to show the world a glimpse of my life. While completing this, I included details of my life in and out of school, as well as extracurricular activities that I am participating in. My goal was to at least scratch the surface of the many accomplishments I have made, and I what I still hope to accomplish. In order to do all of this, I created a homepage to introduce my viewers to my website, an about me page to give a little tidbit of my life, a project page to highlight a project I have completed, and a resume page to list my achievements. In addition to all this, I created a Gallery to explain the pictures I have on my website. A failure I encountered was that the explanation for my homepage got deleted. I overcame this by just making a new one, instead of wasting time complaining.

By completing this project, I learned many new features and abilities of the website editor Weebly. As far as what I learned about myself, even though I separated my life outside of school into rowing, Teen Bible Quiz, and social life, I realize now that all my life is social, and that I interact with others in everything I do. The only thing different I would do on this project if I did it all over again was make the pages more aesthetically pleasing. In other words, I would spend more time designing the format of each page instead of typing as much as I did. A tip I would give to others who are completing this project is to think of the things that you most care about, and base your website off of those areas of your life. This portfolio has inspired me to chase my dreams and continue doing well in everything I do. The message of this project dicated the medium. The reason I think so is because depending on what I was displaying on any particular page, that influenced what the background would be, and how I would go about explaining the page.
