The Challenge
The challenge of this project was to apply both HTML and CSS to create a professional, one-page biography web page from scratch. With a focus on creativity and technical accuracy, the task required incorporating various design elements, such as embedded or external styles, while adhering to specific guidelines for selectors, declarations, and layout principles. The goal was to balance creativity with functionality by demonstrating a deep understanding of both visual design and coding skills.
The Process
I used Codepen, an online coding platform, to build the webpage, allowing me to code in real-time and instantly see the results. Starting with HTML to structure the page, I crafted the biography content and included a central visual image. I then created an external CSS stylesheet to style and position the elements, using over 10 selectors and 20 declarations to ensure a professional look. Following best practices from class readings on visual and interface design, I experimented with different layouts and design elements, refining the page until it reflected a cohesive and creative theme.
