THE RED LEATHER - STYLING
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT FOR MY WEBSITE, I DEFINITELY KNEW WANTED A VERY SIMPLE, MINIMAL LAYOUT, AS I FEEL THAT IS MY STYLE WITH MY WORK, AND THE WAY I EVEN DRESS. ADDITIONALLY, I DID BEGIN MY WEBSITE ON SQUARESPACE.COM BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE HANG OF IT, AND I COULD NOT GET THE CERTAIN LOOK I WANTED THE PAGE TO BE LIKE. ALSO, THE PRICE FOR WEBSITE WAS A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO WIX.COM.
WITHIN MY WEBSITE I HAVE INCLUDED ALL MY WORKSHOPS FROM MY INDUSTRY PRACTICE UNITS, AND ADDITIONAL WORK I HAVE COMPLETED OUTSIDE UNIVERSITY. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE ADDED A FEW BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOS, AS I LIKE TO INCLUDE A FEW PHOTOS ON MY FASHION INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT, TO BROADEN MY WORK'S INFLUENCE, AND GAIN A FEW CONNECTIONS. I OBVIOUSLY WANTED MY WEBSITE TO BE MINIMAL, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW THE IMAGES, AND WRITING IS LAID OUT, AND I FEEL THAT I HAVE DONE THAT EFFECTIVELY. HOWEVER I WISH MY CONTENT EXPRESSED MY STYLE MORE, AS A LOT OF THIS WORK I HAVE INCLUDED IS MOSTLY UNIVERSITY WORKSHOPS, AND GROUP WORK, SO MY NEXT STEP IS TO GET MORE INVOLVED WITH INDIVIDUAL WORK, AND EXPAND MY VARIATION OF MODELS.
I FEEL THE LAYOUT, AND NAVIGATION AROUND MY WEBSITE IS VERY CLEAR, AND SIMPLE, MAKING IT VERY EASY FOR MY AUDIENCE TO SEE ALL MY WORK, AND CONTENT. ADDITIONALLY, I FEEL THAT I HAVE GAINED A LOT OF TECHNICAL SKILLS FROM THIS UNIT, AS I HAVE NEVER MADE, OR DESIGNED A WEBSITE BEFORE, SO IT HAS DEFINITELY HELPED WITH PUSHING MY SKILLS. FURTHERMORE, MY SKILLS WITH PHOTOSHOP HAVE ALSO BEEN HEIGHTENED, AS I HAVE EDITED EACH AND EVERY PHOTO I HAVE ADDED ONTO MY WEBSITE.
OVERALL, I HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS UNIT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DIFFICULT AT FIRST, AS I HAVEN'T GOT MUCH TECHNICAL SKILLS, HOWEVER AFTER GETTING THE HANG OF THE EVERYTHING, I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CREATE A GOOD WEBSITE TO SHOWCASE ALL MY WORK, AND WILL CONTINUE TO ADD MORE WORK IN THE FUTURE.
