Reflection





This term was interesting journey of self-discovery and artistic creation. Photography was always a part of my interest and it was important to learn the settings, composition and to know more about lightning. Practice in studio and with the class around the campus had a huge impact on understanding and also extremely helpful was the possibility to lend the camera to exercise at home. Continuing blog in Creative Media supported me to be more organised and set the priorities. There is still space for improvement but I have gain a lot of new knowledge. Furthermore knowledge and effective critical thinking is crucial to success. It is helping to think outside of the box and see things from others perspective.

Skills that I gain in Creative Media could not only help in professional career but are usefull in life. They helped me to understand that I enjoy drawing, when before I never thought that is possible and I could possible draw anything. Photography practices, especially black&white that I always found it more interesting than colours, gave me potential ideas for the future. Furthermore, Creative writing was a great challenge of all but eventually I found it fascinating. It is incredible how far we can go when we push our boundaries.

My website has some more projects now and I have reorganised it and I am pleased the way it looks now. I have changed the buttons and when added photography project and chapbook changed the leyout to make sure everything is joyful and the navigator operates well. Important part was also to check the mobile view as this needed a small corrections but as the most used in todays world large number of people operates the mobiles so it had to be clear and easy to navigate.

I am looking forward to a new term, the last one before the real University world and see how I can
challenge myself more in every step of the way. Next term we will be using videos instead of blog. That should be interesting.

Website Gallery: Book Project

 Today we are uploading our book to Wix and I will be embedding on my website. Again going to Menu and added  new page and then I moved under my Portfolio. First I have added image to my Portfolio going to Add element, Image and uploaded my cover of the book. 





I went to Canva, uploaded my book. Then on the right top of the site I went to Share, then Embed, copied the HTML and went back to Wix then Menu, Add element, pressed embed code, choose HTML code and paste in. Next I will write the Introduction to give the reason to want to read my book.






Next I went to Menu choose paragraph. I made sure I used the same font 'Gloock' as everywhere else and written introduction.

I added button to my project and changed the text to 'back to Portfolio', placed under the introduction to my book.
 



Then I checked how how it looks on mobile phone and everything works well and if make sense for people to see and if is easy to navigate. 




The same I have done to my Portfolio, added book and the button to move to my project. I like the way it looks and all button works well. All seems easy to navigate and presented clear to read or watch.
