Exploration

• The purpose and function of this website would to
  serve as a basis to work out ideas and platforms
  for which I could publish my present and future
  work.
• It would serve as a first step into an ongoing
  process to further my knowledge in websites and
  website design.

Goals and Objectives

• I want to see what I can do with the website. I
  would like to take everything we learned in the
  class and incorporate it in the design itself.
• The result would be the basis of web design
  knowledge to move forward with a future personal
  website as well as the development of others
  websites.

Documentation

• Estimated time of completion 4 hours
• Actual time of completion with addition of
  technical difficultied 2 days
• The look was going for short, sweet and to the
  point.
• I wanted to get rid of the black, white and gray
  palette since I feel that color palette is the
  safest for web. I wanted to try an image for a
  background with a palette that was more positive.
  
• I used a basic sans-serif font since it would be
  easier on the eyes for the viewers of the site. A
  photo is also found on the new homepage.

Documentation

• Usability/User Interface
• My peers as designers
• My peers as non-designers
• Since this site is for myself and a platform to
  showcase work, not to try and sell myself to
  clients and job opportunities.
• From the feedback I got I made the following
  changes
• I changed where my links were as well as the rest
  of my information. I made everything basically
  accessible on the main page. I lightened the
  color scheme and kept the self-portrait photo of
  myself while using it as a link to my internet
  blog site.
