Project 3 Reflection

I really liked this project and had a lot of fun doing it, but there were some things i noticed along the way that I want to comment about! The first off being that I still have some slight spacing issues that i noticed when we were looking at the finals, these can be sen mostly on the story page. It isn’t anything hugely noticeable but I saw it and now that little technical mistake really bothers me.

Conceptually I rushed into one of my first ideas, which I still think turned out well and I really like it, but then as I was doing some of my sketches after the fact I came across two or three more ideas that would have been brilliant for a blog type website. So I would say that my big weakness conceptually was rushing forward without taking the proper time on my process. I really am pleased with my website and think that it is the best one that I have put out so far but it kills me to thinking about if it could have been better with some of my other ideas.

As far as over all improvement goes I have noticed me increased attention to detail and keenness to noticed subtlety, (which doesn’t mean the I necessarily accomplished it) I think that the subtle choice of colors and type really benefited me in this project. This can definitely be seen in my heading and body copy and alignment when compared to previous posts. I really like the way I handled the archive page and think that it is one of my strongest showings in a web design project thus far in the class. Overall I am very pleased with the site, but I know that it still can use some work and tweaks here and there, it’s by no means perfect.

I also could afford to improve on my process, like I stated before I don’t know how it would have turned out but I would like to think that if I would have done my process in the intended order that i could have come out with some awesome layouts and designs. Not doing the process in the logical order is kind of killing my potential projects.
