FINAL PROJECT

Week 10 (29/10/20)

Me and Kelly had a discussion on what we wanted for our websites. Below is both of our proposal for each other's website:



Week 11 (05/11/20)

After showing the proposal, Mr Shamsul wanted us to work on the actual interface of the webpages. 

Kelly shared a google file with all of her photos.

The typeface I used for the webpage was Barlow. I also created a logo for Kelly's blog using the typeface selected.

Below are the design of the webpages:

Week 12 (12/11/20)

After receiving feedback, I started coding the website.

I changed some of the photos as they were quite repetitive for some spreads. Below are the photos that were newly added:

Week 14 (25/11/20)
After consulting Mr Shamsul and Mr Lun, I found some solutions to the problems I faced while coding the website.

For the first problem, I noticed that my background for the section below couldn't stretch to the side completely. Mr Shamsul suggested that I change the background fit to cover instead of contain.

Another thing was that my row's margin seems to be sticking out of the actual margin for the webpage. For this, initially I wasn't sure which element's margin was causing the problem so I included a red border to see where the problem was from. Eventually I found out that it was because of the row, but there was no specific class or id for that code (I just use the one from bootstrap) so I wrote a new id to override the presets.

I also noticed that the "follow my journey" button wasn't sticking to the side in the previous website so I changed the margin to follow the rest of the text.

Figure 3.7 Changed margin settings

And finally, the website links under Top 3 countries weren't accessible for some reason. I later noticed that it was because I labeled the website wrongly.

FEEDBACK

Week 11 (05/10/20)
The proposal seems fine, try working on the actual design of the webpage.

Week 12 (12/11/20)
Font colour for the titles under top 3 countries don't have enough contrast. Spacing between sections should be the same. Try to make the footer consistent in all pages. For this, maybe include a contact form instead of having a huge footer for the Home page and reuse the footer used in the other pages. The footer can still be a little bigger. Can try making the navigation slightly bigger. Overall layout is fine but texts are quite small.

Week 14 (25/11/20)
Try to change the background fit to cover instead of contain (for the top 3 country section under home page). The images look off centered because of the shadow, but it's actually not off centered.
