Week 13b

We spent the majority of this class period critiqueing the rest of the classes home pages that we didn't get to in the last class. We then had free work time to keep coding our own websites. I continued to work on things that were suggested for me to change in our last critique.

Week 13a outside of class

We were supposed to have 20 percent of our subpage done for class on Wednesday. I spent this time working out the glitches in my responsive nav and beginning to layout my subpage.

Week 13a

We had a full class critique today of  50% of our website (the entire home page). It was interesting to see everyone elses designs and discuss how they troubleshot certain issues. I wrote down all of the feedback that I got on my homepage:

- dotted line under logo unnecessary
-body 0 out the margins
-add hover state on social media
-social media: same color
-too many patterns
-high res. buttons
-do all drop shadows the same
-take away some copy in buttons
-footer gets cut off on mobile view
-more spacing in mobile text
-simplify upcoming events
-header image of subpage "trike race" event
-restructure main mission/image

12b in and outside of class

I was having some major problems getting my nav and images to stack responsively like I wanted them to so I ended up redesigning my layout from scratch and adding my content in accordingly. It is working much better now (aside from my nav looking a little funky in the full browser version, that it just styling issues that I will be able to work out). I also need to work on the styling of my main image/mission statement.

Week 12a

At this point we made a quick review of all the completed websites so far. We walked around the classroom and took a look at eachother websites. We then broke up into small groups to critique each others work this took up a big majority of the class. We then had the rest of the class period to work on our websites.

Week 11b outside of class

I worked on coding my website. I was having a lot of trouble with the nav and spent alot of time trying to figure it out. I ended up only getting about half of the homepage done with many glitches in the normal and responsive versions of it.

Week 11b

So today in class we had a class mini critique about our detailed sketches that we had to do for homework. We went around the room and looked at everyones and then had a few people give us specific feedback on our own. I got a lot of good feedback about my layout and also some positive suggestions about how it should scale down to the mobile version.

Professor Pannafino then came around the class and met with each of us one on one to talk about our sketches. He liked my layout but wanted me to expand on the content of my sketches a little bit more. I was instructed to make it more clear what my images will look like, add content where the "news" rectangles are located, and also to actually write in what the link will be in footer.

Here were my sketches. Note: The wrinklyness/red splotches all over these sketches are the biproduct of having a 3 year old who likes to color all over your homework before you get a chance to photograph them... they didn't look like this in class. lol
