This project was really fun. I ended up liking to design my about page a lot. Initially, it was really hard because it was something that I have never done before. It is like learning a whole new language. It is all about trial and errors. At first, when I didn’t get what I expected, I was frustrated. However, as time passed, I feel like I became more patient and I embrace the process. Once I got what I expected, I’m so happy, as if I have accomplished something really great.
I faced many difficulties along the way. First of all, it is really hard to align the different parts. For instance, I want the profile picture (circled) to be right next to the contacts me session but it instead went above. Therefore I need to play around to change the margin, the display, and the position. Another challenge falls into my profile picture image. This is because I want to make it a circled frame so that it would look like the profile picture of my Instagram account. When I do so, the image of me does not show up in the circle, because the image automatically was cropped so that the only part visible is the top left.
One of the silly mistakes that got me stuck for a long time was the IMA main page. I forgot that my IMA main page was in the week 2 folder and not the week1. Therefore, the hyperlink does not work.
Ultimately, this project is challenging but I like how we can be creative with it. I like the trials and errors even though it took quite a while to be successful.
