What Did I Learn? I learned the basics of web design and coding. My whole life I have only seen the finished product of a website but I have never lifted up the hood and seen what was inside. This project showed me the guts of a website and how to edit them.
What Was Easy? The easiest part for me was knowing what to put on my resume. Before this project, I had my official resume finished so it was just a matter of copying my resume.
What Was Challenging? The hardest part of the project was deciding what font I wanted to use. For a resume, I wanted to make sure my font stood out but also that it was professional.
How Could Your Submission Be Improved? I think my resume could have been better with better colors. Now that a couple weeks have passed, I have no idea what I was thinking when I chose red and beige for my primary colors. I wish I would have picked Red & Black or Blue & Gray would be cool.
How Could Your Professor Improve The Assignment? I don’t know. I really liked this project because it showed me the basics of coding and web design. Everyone, nowadays, is always talking about web design and coding so it was cool for me to at least get a little taste of it.
How might you apply your knowledge to future projects or work scenarios? I can apply this knowledge by editing my resume again! I think it’s awesome to have my resume on that link. Instead of having a boring normal paper resume, I can tell people to go to my link and see my colorful fun resume.
How did a specific reading, video, or example inspire you? The reading about being simple helped me in this project. When I was designing my resume web page, I was thinking about putting my whole resume on there but then I realized that it was too much. I realized a lot of the stuff I have on my resume is pointless and complex. So for this project, I cut down my resume to the most important experiences and skills.
