Reflection Número Tres

At the beginning of this assignment I felt like I had no idea what was going on. It was frustrating for my domain name to fail to work for the first few classes and I felt so behind the entire time. I could have had the mindset that I won’t catch up, but I didn’t allow myself to think that way and kept truckin’. That being my motivational story, I’ll  move on.

I can see improvement on my treatment of hierarchy and am feeling more confident in that. I feel that, that leaves more room to focus on other details, which was exciting. I realized that the other details was more hierarchy that I hadn’t addressed in previous posts. I hope that I utilized space more successfully. I did see some areas on my archival page that I should have worked on further. I still need to produce more sketches and add more content to my wireframe. I forget how important this preliminary work is and that could really hurt me at some point. I felt like I could have done better with the headers, but it allowed me to play with a new element. I don’t regret going with that element, but it’s definitely something I want to improve upon. I would also work on my elements such as icons. I think that I’ve improved on them, but I want to continue to find more solutions. I think that I can always improve on type treatment, but I branched out some more on this project. I hope my eye for typography continues to sharpen.

My fragments have improved x10. I think I may have put too much thought into them, but it really helped me visualize what the whole blog could look like. I found that incredibly helpful. I think my website looked more finished than in the previous projects. I suppose that means I keep improving, which is quite encouraging. I hope nothing slows me down for this next project, like a milkshake spill or new technology to me, but life happens. It’s been interesting to see how things turn out. I enjoyed creating these pages; I can definitely see myself making so many more different layouts.
