Website Design

       Today in class, Isabel, Gaby, and I focused on creating a website that could show neatly and aesthetically present our documentary. So, at first, we began setting up our Weebly account. However, we saw another one of our peers designing their website too, and the templates they were experimenting with looked really nice, so we asked her what she was using and she said she was using Wix. So, we discarded the Weebly idea and went for Wix instead. Fortunately, we looked through several website templates and found that we wanted a design that could allow us to show our poster as well as a widget to allow anyone visiting the site to click directly into our project. Although the set color scheme wasn't that interesting, we didn't worry much because we knew that we could change the settings later.
         Once we picked our design for our website, we started thinking of poster ideas together, besides the one I had in mind. Isabel then mentioned we could take several pictures of our interviewees together. Then she thought, why don't we just take pictures of each of them? I then had an idea of having a college sort of thing, where we could show a timeline of each age group grow over time. But then we thought of an even better idea of making a collage of headshots of people of different age groups. Within each of these pictures, we'd have a bright, solid colored background so when all of the pictures are put together, we'd have a multi-colored checkerboard like effect. We all agreed to do that and take pictures of people we knew over the weekend.
