Instructions





Tasks


In assignment 2, we were told to make a working landing page from the designs of assignment 1. And with all of the exercises done to help us through, I started workingon the landing page. 

I first started with the header and it was really difficult. I searched up many different ways to put the header separated from different div's, and a logo in the middle and nothing was really going well. But in the end I got it to work and the next part was the gender section.

I was thinking of just making it like the illustrator design, where all of the components were all near to each other but when I made the code, it was very far from each other and to be honest, it looked a lot better in my opinion. However, I wanted the gender section to follow through every time I scrolled and I searched it up for quite a while and followed many of the instructions given on Youtube and eventually got it to work.

With the header and and the other things done, all I had left was the page layout. This was pretty simple as it was pretty much like the exercises we did in the class. However, there was the carousel and that was pretty new to do. For the carousel, I downloaded some of the 4k photos that I could find online and I resized them manually to the same size so that the carousel's dimensions wouldn't be messed up when scrolled through. Then I just followed a guide on how to make a carousel and luckily it worked.

Then, finally the footer, I didn't want to waste too much time and I didn't really think that it was going to effect the page too much so I just searched up on how I can make a footer on Youtube and followed the guide.

For the final assignment, I had to make 4 more different sub-websites that is responsive to the landing page. So I decided on going with a support page, Log in page, Collection page #1 and Collection page #2 and just for fun, an error page. 

By following many of Youtube tutorials and searching up different codes on Google, I finally managed to get the codes right. 

I didn't want to spend time making adjustments on CSS for each html so I just made a separate CSS that all the other HTMLs can direct to.

Reflections


Experience

During the entirety of the assignments that were given to us, I think that this was definitely the most fun and the most challenging part for me. It was not something like we have done before and this really required a real dedication and sacrifice of time to get this done. I think that I have learnt truly a lot of things when doing the final project and I am quite glad how it turned out in the end. 


Observations

For this, I think that there was plenty of time left for me to finish off the assignments, but I wanted to get this done as quick as possible because I have chosen quite a modern design and I wanted to get this as accurate as possible to how I imagined it to be so I think that I kind of rushed it so that I could get this out of the way. 


Findings

The fact that I had to make 4 more websites that corresponds to the index was a real shock for me because I had spent way too much time on the index alone, and I thought that this would've taken me ages, however, because the layout of the thing was already made, like the header and the footer, it was really easy to breeze through the other things for the other web pages.
