I made my site using a simple template that I found online. After changing the colors, font, sizes, and some other cosmetic features I was finally happy with the setup. The biggest challenge I faced was getting text to align with my pictures in a way that I liked the look of but was also capable of setting up in html. The second biggest challenge I faced was changing out the header image to one I created on photoshop. It was difficult to get it to fit exactly where I wanted using just coding, but after many google searches and a lot of trial-and-error I managed to get it right. With more knowledge of code and likely years of experience, ideally the site would have maybe a more interesting navigation system and be slightly more interactive for the viewer. I really like the color scheme and overall layout of the site, but I would have loved to make the details a bit more interesting and fun. I used many different modes in creating my site. Primarily, the visual mode played the biggest part in the site design. I chose a layout that was simple and easily digestible for any viewer and chose a complimenting color scheme that I thought was nice on the eyes while also representing me well. I didn’t want the site to take up the whole screen, so I chose one that was a little bit smaller so all the information was located in the same area without overwhelming the viewer. Also, using the linguistic mode, I wrote my about pages to seem personable and easy for people to connect to. The written parts very much reflect my sense of humor and voice in writing which was my intended goal. I wanted to write in a way that I find to be entertaining, in hopes to connect to either those who want to learn more about those aspects of myself, or someone with similar humor. As for the spatial mode, I wanted each page to be able to navigate to the other pages while still being unique in their content. The simple layout made the site easy to keep organized while the personalized color scheme and content gave it more of a personal flair. My design choices were very much focused in keeping the site organized while making it personal and fun. I put emphasis on the headings of each page so the reader knows exactly what part of the site that they’re on. I chose pink as the color scheme primarily because my hair is currently pink and I think it’s a color that I feel represents me well at the moment. I also chose pink because I feel like it’s a playful and inviting color, making the reader feel welcomed into the site when they arrive. Another design choice I made was on the alignment of photos and text. On the page dedicated to my pets, I chose to put their pictures on opposite sides of the page with text in line with their photo. I thought this was an unique way to organize the page and the alignment of it made it clear which paragraph belonged to which animal while making it interesting to read.
