Prezi presentation and why it matters

 I already mentioned I see value in doing this presentation, and it is not because it gives me an idea exactly what I want to do, but where I want to start. I think that this website will be a constant work in progress, where things will change all the time, according to my technical abilities, my time table and my vision of the content. At the end, what I present here might turn out to be nothing like the finished website. But doing it actually helped me to get some structure into my process. My presentation is a bit ambitious, I absolutely understand that. Yet, a lot of things included there, I am already working on, so hopefully, my website will be at least remotely close to what I included in the Prezi.

Flowcharts, Wireframes and Mood board

Image
In preparation to make my Prezi presentation, that will give an idea how I am approaching this, what I am going for and how I plan to execute it, I decided to start with my flowchart, wireframes and mood board. I am using Adobe XD for that and, more or less, this part of my project is connected with my visual and content design research. I think that going through the whole process of creating those is making this one thing certain  - this is just a start. I should not expect to be able to do exactly what I will set out to do in the presentation, but if I do not set out any framework, within which I will work, then I will be all over the place. When I am doing something that requires a method, no direction is my worst enemy. Wireframes are how your pages will look like, the flowchart is how it all comes together in a website. I already have an idea, in terms of functionality, so this was kind of fun to do. I am finally able to visualise where I am going with this.   At this po...

Technical Process - how it all came together (Part I)

Image
First of all I need to make a note of something - my browser has never been abused to this extend with searches that start with 'How to...' ! There are elements that need including in this website and I had to learn how to do that. Most of the answers I found in  W3schools , but I used other sources as well. Anywhere they had an answer to my question really. I started by designing my Index page. I already knew that I did not want too much there - navigation bar, some info about me and my logo. After going through Boostrap platforms, trying to figure out how to start, I saw this web design and decided I will use some bits and pieces from it. Just to get me started and to have some frame to work with, which I can always change after to fit my vision, but also my technical abilities. First thing I realised - the split function of Dreamweaver that allows you to see what you are doing is good, but only when you are exercising. Once I started doing this I switched to code mode, as o...

Image, Text and (not) Music

Some time ago I read Roland Barthes's Image-Music-Text and I loved it. Semiotics and how our reality is created within societies and cultural norms has been something I was interested in long before I came to University. So I started thinking - what my website will be trying to say about me and about art? How to optimise the use of images and text, so it conveys a message, it creates a context? I have to admit that putting an abstract together with technology can be confusing, but big part of content design is how you engage with the users. At this point there is one thing that is clear - my website will not be text heavy, yet I will try to convey my passion for modern and contemporary art through at least some text, and showcase it with images.  From the start I had the idea of the "My life in Exhibitions" page, that I will populate with images from the best exhibitions I visited in the last two years. Text, that was different story..We all have different ways of positio...
