Website Progression
At the start of this project when we were told we had to present our log as a website/blog, I was really upset and worried. I wasn't well acquanted with designing websites or creating layouts and I was sure my work would get lost for no apparant reason. The first couple of days I struggled slightly adapting to the tools, creating sub-pages and presenting my work in a professional way. I think it's quite evident in one of my first pages, 'Initial Research', that I really didn't have any idea about how to layout images, or annotate them neatly; they lookmisaligned and messy. The postiche page was one I did soon after that, where I became
more acquanted with adding lines, which I've found can help subtley break up pages or help show exactly what you're talking about. I also started coordinating colours more throughout a page, which gives it a more cohesive look, instead of looking disjointed. In my 'All Ages' page and my 'Bondo Flatpieces' page, I tried to match some of the colours of the boxes with some of the tones in the photos that I added. Boxes also make text and annotations look a lot more proffesional, rather than having the text drifting around in the background. I am particularly proud of my 'Digital Implications' page, as I tried to use a font that was relevant to the topic. I also edited the photos down the left hand side to have cinematic strips accross the top and bottom as a kind of relevant border, as they're screenshots from the films I annotated.
