In this post, I will be discussing the process of creating the home page of my Website for Alan Mark.
Firstly, I used one of the templates the website creation tool Wix had provided in order to make the website creation easier. I then proceeded to change the trip background of each section in order to make the website's home page aesthetically pleasing. Next, I added a video to the start of my homepage closely resembling my research of Allan Mckay's website as shown below.
I then added the video box tool that was included in the left-hand menu of the website creation tool Wix and formatted it to fit the website as close to the video on Allan Mckay's website. I took the videos included within the looped video of the website within the Kimberlin Library of De Montfort University.
Secondly, I created a simple introduction to my website. I added two text boxes that were located at the left-hand side of the website creation tool Wix. The first text box will contain the title of the tab "Meet Alan Mark" and the second would contain the introduction. Before adding the text, I first made sure to set the font style to Lulo Clean and font size 15px so that it is pleasing to read. After which, I added the contents of my introduction and the title of the page.
I went to another section the template the website creation tool Wix had and tweaked its contents to contain some photos of my "Recent Works. Firstly, I added a singular text that was in the menu of the left-hand side of the website creation tool Wix and added the title of "Recent Works"with the font style of Lulo Clean and added an effect to the font to make it seem like it had a Holo-afterimage. I then added an app that presents the photos and goes through them one by one which I added via the left-hand side menu the website creation tool Wix had and it was under the "add an app" option.
Lastly, I added a section onto the template the website creation tool Wix provided that showcases my first project for the VFX film I am creating. I firstly added a square and made it white in order to create a background for the text I am about to put onto the area and sized it appropriately. Once that is accomplished, I then added 2 text boxes, one containing the title "Project 0.1" and the other containing a short description of Project 0.1. I edited both texts to have the font style of Lulo Clean and font color of black to make it stand out from the white square. I also added the Holo-afterimage effect to the title text box to make it aesthetically pleasing. I then added a button that leads to Project 0.1 making it easily accessible. I finished this section by added a simple photo to advertise project 0.1.
On the area close to the footer of the website, I added a title button that viewers may press in order to return to the top of the page for convenience and design, alongside my social media links.
This is incomplete. Please post your screenshots and describe the process of creating the home page.
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing this out, I have posted my screenshots alongside the process of creation. Please take a look and I await for your response. Thanks!
DeleteIt is good that you have described the process of creating your homepage. You need talk a bit more about how did you create the button? Talk through the technical process. You've only talk about the main text typography. You haven't talked about the title colour, font and size. Talk about the process of creating the looped video on your homepage. What software did you use to create it? How did you find the process of creating the home page and the video?
