In this lesson we have been completing our problems and solutions sheet some of the examples of problems I came across are that the web link for twitter and Facebook were the wrong colour and weren't easily visible on the background that I chose. the solution that I found to this was that I could open the files in Photoshop and manually change them . Another problem I found was that the video that I wanted to add to my website was on YouTube and this would me using a YouTube video down-loader which could potentially  give the computer a virus. the solution that I found to this problem was that there is an option on wix to upload a video on to YouTube using a YouTube link. my personal target for this lesson was to get the problems and solutions sheet finished and I have managed to do this in the lesson and up to a good standard.

today i have been creating my website logo i have also been creating the social media pages for my website i have made the twitter and Facebook pages i have also set up the email for my website and the contact section is linked to this email. i have learnt more about how to use wix like how to set up links using buttons. i have also learnt how to change the social media link pictures. the logo went well but i did have some trouble with some of the layers on my logo. with my feedback i am going to develop my home page for my website as it is too simplistic and needs to include some more imformation i also need to develop my mobile version of my sight.

Today we were doing the flat designs for our website and we started designing our website we were also doing the about me part for our website. some of the problems that i came up against was when doing the flat design i had to find the right template that i wanted to use before i could start doing the flat template but once i found the right template that i wanted to use it was very easy to do the flat design. we also started to do the logo design for our website i did my logo design on photoshop because it is the program that i am most familiar with. the only problem i came up against with this was when i saved it sometimes my documents wipes itself so i also saved it to my phone to solve this problem.

During this lesson we were getting ready to do our pitch for our mind map this meant making the mind map we then had to analyse it and go over why we had included the images on the mind map and what we were going to include on our website. with my mind map i didn't have enough space to fit the explanations so i included this on another document to make it easier to read when doing the focus group. i think that i worked well during this lesson because i got all of the work done and the focus group was successful because i learnt some of the things that i could include on my website ad some of the reasons why people would want to go on to my website. some of the problems that i found during this lesson was not being able to fit all of the information on to the mind map the way that i solved this was to put the info on to another document.

in this lesson we were carrying on the work from the previous lesson when we were lookng at wix and simpl in this lesson we explored more of what our favoured website does and experimented with it to get more comfortable with using it and finding out some of the other features. i think that i worked well during this lesson because i managed to get all of the work done in the time of the lesson and didn't have any work left over. during this lesson i have used my analysing skills again to go over some of the more in depth features on wix.

during this lesson we were looking at Wix and Simpl we were looking at what the bad and good features of both of them sme of the bad features of simpl was that it was generally hard to use which is why i have chosen to use wix as the website builder im going to use. during this lesson i have learnt how to use wix and simpl. i had to use my analysing skills again during this lesson to analyse and compare simpl and wix. i found out that wix is the better website builder because it is ironically alot more easy and simple to use.

Today we were doing the evaluation for our website which is the final part of unit 7 we were also showing our website and getting feedback from the young professionals. some of the feedback I got was that I should change the logo to have my name as the main piece of text and put Graphic Design at the bottom. Also that I should change my bio section so that I split it up so I have separate titles for each part of it so it doesn't look like one big piece of text. when presenting my website the assessor said that the strengths of my website are that all of the colours link together which gives it a clean look also that there are lots of links to social media sites in various different places. also the layout of the work on my page is very clean and professional looking. if i was going to improve anything on my website I think that I would add more work to my website. Also remake the logo to make it look more professional. I would also make more social media pages like Instagram or Pin interest and spend more time on them uploading things to the Instagram page.

Today I finished off my website and learnt more on how to use the software of the website. we were also filling in a sheet to show what problems we have found. we had to screenshot all of the problems and explain what the problems were and what the solutions to those problems were. some of the problems that I came across was when the web links for Facebook and twitter were the wrong colour because they were black but they had to be white to match the colour scheme on my website another problem I came across was when I was adding a video to my website I couldn't find the section to add a video to the website from you tube I eventually found it when I looked more in to the website. Looking at the final outcomes of the lesson i think that i am alot more productive and i got all of the work finished and have finished the website early so i am ahead of the schedule. during this session i have learnt how to use new functions on wix like how to add videos from websites and how to change the colour of icons on wix as well.

Today we were finishing off our previous work which was to analyse the positivists and negatives of wix and simpl also the differences between the two website designers. i found that wix is a lot better than simpl  also we were making our mind map to show the ideas for our website we had to include the different things we would want to include on our website like the colours or certain types of images like poly art or graphic design. it all depends on the theme of our website my theme is graphic design. over the holidays i am going to have to do the project proposal. this includes writing down what i want to do with my website and why.
