Initial Progress
Current Design Inspiration
After seeking out constructive criticism of my first rough layout from close friends (credits to Loukos Scheffer), I decided to change the look and colors of the website from my colorful tabs format to a cleaner, more modern style. I looked around at the current design language for personal websites using this article from The Muse, and took inspiration from various personal websites from the article, including Rhiannon Navin's site, Dr. Orestis Georgiou's site, and Nathaniel Koloc's site. Drawing inspiration from these websites, I eventually settled on minmalistic aesthetic for the colors and navigation bar.
Lessons Learnt
I have also gained the understanding that front-end development requires a good eye for visuals and design. I will seek to improve my artistic ability by understanding current industry practices, reading popular design blogs and most importantly, making my own projects to practice applying the knowledge I have gained from others.
