B1: Developing my website


 Developing my website


 

Once designing my logo and business cards, I am beginning to research other websites and compile inspirations. This includes designs and the content that will be produced from the website. Curating what my likes and dislikes are and planning what I aim to include in my own, will benefit me in the creating stages. 

 




To aid in my own website building, I used this website, which allowed me to explore various different people, whether in the industry or not, and how they present themselves and their skills. As they ranked each one, I was able to see what is desirable in a website or what does not work as well. It was common to see personal work experiences, achievements and skills, with the best ones being displayed through "simple, clean, and calming" designs". As these are real-life people in the work force, it is interesting to see how they make connections and get themselves out there.

This is due to the requirement of grasping the attention of the audience, which may be faltered by the wrong music choice. A common theme throughout these showreel's in particular is that they present thei...

B1: Final Website Design

 Final Website Design After the feedback I received from my peers on my Google Form, this is the final version of my website  . Taking suggestions from my peers, I added an "Industry Inspirations" section to my "About Me" page and my LinkedIn to the "Contact" page. I decided to update my website with these additions as my peers' opinions are important, due to them knowing what they would like to see out of a website. These suggestions allow the viewer of my website to become more knowledgable on who I am and how they can find me.
