Portfolio Final Post

My idea for my portfolio was to have a single scrolling page that focused on showing my work and telling everyone about myself and my skills. The links in the menu will take you to the different parts of the website and the menu is fixed so that the menu can be accessed from anywhere. The first thing I wanted people to see was information about myself so that they could see who I am. I then wanted to create a portfolio section that had my recent work in images that when you hovered over them would bring up a link to the site and give a little bit of information on the site. The thing I wanted to end with was contact information. If I used social media I would link those in the contact but my email, phone, and blogger are the only ones I have currently. Coming up with the idea was not too hard because I wanted a single scrolling page anyways and looking at the different portfolio websites gave me ideas for content in my portfolio.

My page is not finished because I spent a day working on my english final and others days working on late chemistry homework. I got the single page scrolling and the hover on the images going. I did not get much of my content in and the nav bar is still a bit wonky. I will probably continue working on this outside of class after break.

When we started this project I really had no idea that there were still antenna stations that were still looking to get new advertisements. I thought that the ones that still exist were just going to die off. The website our client made themselves was very lack luster. There was not much to work off of design wise and the logo probably needed to be redone. I started off by creating some variants of a new logo but tried to make it keep the similar look of our clients original logo since he seemed to be leaning towards that. I did not decide on any colors for the logo. He said that he wanted a slideshow type thing in his website so I mainly focused around that aspect in my mock - up site with the content being underneath. On the first site I made I focused on trying to make the slideshow the focus of the page. When I was working on this page the way I laid out the slideshow and the menu did not leave enough space for me to incorporate the logo without it looking cluttered. In the second site it is a similar design but the menu scrolls with you on the page allowing to to see the logo and simply scroll to the slideshow/content. Color is something that I am not great with so the site has a plain black/white/grey color scheme.
