The next part of a website is to include some images and some gifs here and there to make your website pop out to your audience.

This is very crucial if you’re an artist and you want to display off your art pieces to your intended audiences. This is what I’ve done for mine. This may come off as simplistic but the way I want to design my gallery is to be a similar look to my favorite animal artist with motivation to them; The Latest Kate. Which is simplistic yet aesthetic appealing.

The media GIFS I have used are small (as I implied code for them to be small) PNG ones of a cutely designed foxes with a flower crown to act as a padding border next to the text fonts.

For my website, we had to do the next challenge which was adding some color and our desired typography.

For me, I’ve selected some cursive text in Josefin Sans font as that appears more humble in my opinion and makes it more sweeter to welcome my audience to my art website.

As for coloration, the palette I have chosen to go with is with that of the classic red fox fur, which is why the tabs are orange, and the border widths for the columns and some texts are brown.

Using Sublime Text for HTML coding for this next homework assignment, here are my first and second webpage HTMLs.

It is a work in progress of making each page, as this is a practice and see how far I can make the webpages.

The midterm assignment I have done using Google Slides to present each stage of my work of my website draft as well as style guide, and color palettes. All of which are created using Photoshop.

Continuation from our logo design homework assignment, we were playing and experimenting on what kind of site maps would work best for our websites. For mine below, it is a test guinea pig in terms of the frontal page.

For this assignment, we’ve designed in our own website logos. Here is what mine looks like, on the creative whim side.

This was made with Photoshop.

Here are some digital site map sketch concepts I have made for the assignment of creating Site Map/Wire Map layouts.

All Made Using:

For this assignment, we had to design or create concepts of website layouts, I have used three websites (equipped with links as such)

For this homework assignment, I will construct a website that is going to act as my online portfolio. It will include few artworks that I have done over the time.

An artist that I have followed on Instagram also has an Etsy shop, which her art style can compete with mine’s if by given chance. Plus, one of my former professors from my old college that I’ve transferred from assignment my is marked as my competitors, and I draw quite a lot of inspiration from her webpage. Finally, another artist with a style that can compete with mine gives me an inspiration of creating my own book someday.
