Fictitious Site launch

For this activity, we were to go ahead with our proposals and to create the website for our fictitious client, Reel Deal Tacos. Taking into consideration the sitemaps and wireframes we set up in our proposals, we were to create the website and ensure its functionality, aesthetic, and overall usability.

  • Were you able to meet all the provisions outlined in your proposal?
For everything I outlined in my proposal I was able to create it on the WIX platform. I was able to almost replicate my sitemap and wireframes, and I believe that it all works together relatively well.
  • Did you propose or promise something you could not deliver?
In my wireframes, I designed the header to look different than what I was actually able to create. I found that WIX wouldn't allow for certain movements or changes to media and design so ultimately I had to stick with something similar.
  • What was the most challenging part of the process for you?
The most challenging part of the process was having to switch from the two WIX platforms to accomplish certain tasks. Ultimately I started out using their ADI editor which does everything for you, but there were certain things that you can't do within those parameters compared to their WIX Editor. I ended up switching to try and accomplish those changes, and ultimately had some struggles overcoming certain changes in how the system worked, and how to manually rearrange and edit portions of the site.
  • Where would you like to go deeper?
I'd like to continue with working on the color scheme. I tried to maintain a beach/ocean aesthetic but I'm not sure how I feel about the colors in the end. I'd also like to continue working on the images and galleries, to try and crop them to look better. I found with the editor it wouldn't let you crop them within a gallery, so I'll have to find a workaround somehow!

Wk4 Synthesis: Curating Through MCBS

Image
I believe it's been a mix of everything I've learned so far that helped me to create projects this month that were more "pro-looking" than they otherwise would have been.  From past projects in previous courses to the curation of assets within this class, I was able to put everything together to find things that worked better, and use new media tools to get me there. I definitely appreciate all the links provided to us through the MCBS Symbaloo web mix. It made finding what I wanted and needed so much easier knowing that they were higher quality than I would have used. But I will go on to say that I don't necessarily believe anything I created in this class are ones that I want to keep. They definitely still need more work, but they help to show where I'm starting so that in the future I can look back on them and see where I've gone. So in that regard, I'll retain them in my back pocket. Having gone through the course I've developed a much...

Wk 2 Analysis: Brands & The Human Connection/ Curating 3

Image
Dove Beauty Sketches “You’re More Beautiful Than You Think”, was a video produced by Dove that took the internet by storm back in 2013. It was a very successful ad campaign because it was beautifully shot, had really emotional music, but it also touched on a very prominent and important message about women within society.  This video was meant to touch women of all ages. Although the women in the video were adult females possibly between the ages of 25-45, the message can still clearly resonate with teens and young adults too. Today women are habitually chopped down to small versions of who they are by others, which makes them think less of themselves altogether. Through this video, women were able to get a chance at really seeing themselves through the eyes of strangers, and not the mainstream media or society at large. Multiple women were sat down, and asked questions about their features, where the man asking the questions would then sketch what he was hearing. Then s...
