INSTRUCTIONS


First, I created a layout using divs in Adobe Dreamweaver. Afterwards, I placed all the images and text in their respective divs.

After I placed all the text and images, I went to Google Fonts and added in 'Nunito' and 'Overpass Mono'. Then I applied Nunito to the whole body. I also started formatting each div starting from the first section to the last.

For the software skills and experience, I screenshotted the original design and imported it as an image.

I decided to get rid of the horizontal lines sitting directly next to the text and instead just coloured the bottom of the borders. I also removed the image for the software skills and replaced it with numbers instead since it had a problem when the browser was resized.

Then, I placed all the thumbnail pictures as well as titles and used display flex to line them up in 3 columns. I also justified the elements to have space between them.

Afterwards, I added a hover effect so the thumbnails zoomed in slightly when your cursor was sitting above it. Additionally, I also made it so the titles changed colours as well when you hovered over them.

And here began my struggle to add in a carousel. Most of the top answers that came up when I googled how to add a carousel included using JavaScript and since I didnt't know anything about it I had to look for an alternative method.
I ended up following a youtube tutorial and adjusting everything to fit my vision. It was a very humbling experience to say the least but I'm glad I persisted to include the carousel.

It was really hard trying to figure out how to keep the image in the center and also have the height of the carousel adjust as well when resizing the window/browser. What I did was make every image of the carousel the exact same height and width and joined multiple artworks in one image using Photoshop.

Lastly, I added in href links to jump to the specific section you wanted to look at and also added hover animations and linked the back buttons in each section.

FINAL PROJECT 2





REFLECTION

This was by far the hardest thing i've had to do in this class so far but it was really fun trying to figure out how to implement the elements from my prototype. I definitely think I could have done better but I am really satisfied with how it turned out. Looking back, I do wish that I had made a simpler prototype but I really like making things more difficult for myself ahah.
