On 5/15/2020, I started development for the Spring Capstone Project (SP Project). First, I decided that I was going to do Late Imperial Chinese Art for the subject of the SP Project. Secondly, I designed my wireframe and storyboard for my SP Project which is a website by using Photoshop. Thirdly, I created new folders and new HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files for the website. In the first HTML file, I created the homepage for the website. I started with the <head> tags which had <meta> tags, <title> tags, <link> tags, and <html> tags. Inside the <body> tags, I had <nav> tags for the navigation menu, <main> tags for the main content of the site, and <footer> tags for the footer. Inside the <nav> tags, I have <div> tags, <ul> tags, <li> tags, <a> tags, and an <img> tag for the house icon to go back to the homepage. This navigation bar with all its components function as a list of links that go to the different sites but displays as a navigation bar with CSS display, position, margin, padding, and background-color. Inside the <main> tags, I typed in an <h1> tag for the title of the website, <img> tags for the images that represent the corresponding artists, <div> tags to position and encase the images and text, and <a> tags to make the images and text link to the sites of the website. Inside the <footer>, I typed in <a> tags for the links to the information about the website, wireframe, storyboard, and the reflection which is here. Next, I designed the information for the artists' pages. I used the same navigation bar and footer with minor differences to each of the webpages for the artists and their information. Inside those webpages, I typed in <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <p>, and <img> tags to display information like a sort of mini article. Due to time constraints and lackluster information on Late Imperial Chinese Artists, there was little information to put inside the webpages. More content may be added if certain factors are met. Finally, in the citations page, I added all the links I used for the research of the Late Imperial Chinese artists and their information. Knowing how to build a project with a topic included is crucial to a web designer because it enables the web designer to make focused websites that convey a certain theme or subject that an employer or contractor desires.
This article will both be on my Blogger and on my SP Project Reflection page.
