Description: For our project, we decided to make a website that would showcase the different and diverse experience that a student from NYU Abu Dhabi would experience as well as the experience that an NYU Shanghai student would have. When you start, you are directed to an admissions page where you can choose either the NYU Abu Dhabi route or the NYU Shanghai Route.
Process: In the beginning, we wanted to create this project with a mix between hand-drawn pictures and actual photographs. Not only that, we wanted that for each slide, one would be able to see the direct comparison between going to Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. Some of these comparisons could be the scenery that both cities had to offer as well as the different cuisine’s that are available. We then found that photographs were much more compelling than hand drawings since the audience would be able to have a better time visualizing the experience of being in that city despite never having traveled there. We used images from our own lives and also asked from other’s what their experience was like within their city so we could better understand what to showcase and represent from our images.
Coding: For me personally, formatting the code proved to be very typical at first. I still wasn’t very used to using CSS so I decided that once and for all I would implement my skills of usage for the assignment. After trial and error, I felt that I was able to fully understand the problems that I had before especially for styling the buttons and I definitely feel way more confident in using CSS than I did before.
