Final Reflection

This project was a little overwhelming to me at the beginning. With all of the other projects and things i had on my plate at the end of this semester it was really hard to start this project. I enjoy designing websites and in the end i always hoped i had put more time and effort into them So in this project i decided to do that. The work with the groups always helps to get me excited and ready to start the project. Seeing everyone work together and coming up with ideas is really inspiring and helpful. As far as the process goes im the first to say that i am not very good at sketching out ideas and wireframes. But knocking out some of this in a group really does help me to get the ball rolling. I felt like i didnt have many technical mistakes. Sure there are plenty of them in my project but compared to other previous projects i was much careful and payed more attention to detail in this project, which took me to an end piece that i was fairly proud of, more proud then any other piece. I felt like i could have spent more time on the websites layout and branding. Although i like where it is headed, i feel like this is just one stop on the way to the final piece. As far as improvements go, using columns and grid structure in this project really helped me out when it came down to the clean look i was going for. I think there are a few places where i broke the columns and mixed and matched but it was all on the same grid. The process in this final was definitely improved because we did it as a group. I enjoyed working on the wireframes in class way more then on my own. In class i can see the website and how it would be used and explored. On my own i am just making squares and boxes. Which could be improved a lot.
