Project 3: Website

We were assigned to develop our Project 1 & 2 into a website using the knowledge we have received from the lectures. I am so stressful of this final project as I procrastinate a lot and literally have no idea on how to get started. I even apologized to my mom in advance if I end up not passing this module but guess what I MADE ITTTTTT! Even though it results in a very simple website design but at least I managed to build it on my own and I am proud of it. I do not have any family or friends that understand coding and HTML so there is no one to be asked besides the lecturer, but again I did not use the consultation hours well so here I am questioning everything to myself. 

I used DreamWeaver to create my site as instructed by the lecturer and started working from the navigation bar.

Did another try on the navigation bar but this time I was using the table.

Finally, I decided to follow Mr. Tarmizi's tutorial instead. Believe it or not, I spent 12 hours to do only the header of this landing page. It is really hard to make it the way I want it to look like but this is the best I can make so far.

For all the images I will be using, I resized the image size in Photoshop to reduce the quality drop as advised by Mr. Tarmizi. However, I still feel like the pictures resolution are ruined by this method.

After hours of confusion and exhaustment, I find myself to work easier with tables so most of the part were done this way.

Originally, I used Avenir in my designs but I have tried multiple times to import the typeface to DreamWeaver and it just won't work so I end up using the built-in typefaces like Helvetica and GillSans. 

Below is my final HTML, CSS and images in zip. I forgot to rename all the files and images beforehand which I regret so much. I tried to rename it just now but it messed with the codes so I am really sorry for my carelessness. I randomly named the folder as bootcamp because when I see the word bootstraps it just reminded me of it, the most popular landing place in one of the PUBG's map, Sanhok.

REFLECTION

This is the most challenging task this semester but we have to step out of our comfort zone every once in a while in order to grow right? And it will always seem impossible until it is done! There is still a plenty of things that I actually have in mind that I do not know how to make it happen so I am looking forward to learn more of the advanced interactive design next year!
