Hi, I hope you are all doing well. I myself have finally relaxed after a month of stress in the back of my mind. I finally handed in my project exam!
In the project exam, I had to make a website for someone real or fictional, and I think I did pretty well. The last time I made a website about Biking in Bergen, I didn´t make it interactive, so my design this time has a parallax effect.
I made a website for a fictional person who created art commissions in his spare time and wanted a cheap website to sell his skills on. It wound up being 9 pages and oh boy was it fun (and pain) to come up with names that made sense for each page. Or even finding images. Since my client wasn´t real I had to find my own artworks, and of course, credit each one, and somehow make it all fit.
I loved it.
My website wound up looking like this in WordPress: Jonathans Art. And like this in Adobe XD: Jonathans Art
The home page on the XD version is scrollable with the arrow keys ↑ and ↓.
Honestly, I am pretty proud of myself for that project. However, it also made me think again about how…sub-par my own blog was compared to what I handed in. So, if you have followed or just seen this blog before this day, you must have realized a big difference in the design.
The background color is now white. The text is now black. The purple is now only on some special features like the navigation panel.
In general it is just cleaner and easier to navigate since the blog posts are now only displaying summaries unless clicked on, instead of the entire post showing all the time. Oh and that there is a site calendar now. Yeah, big changes were made and I can now finally look at my blog and say “Yeah I did this.” and be satisfied. That I can show it off to friends and not need to explain the navigation, lol.
