INSTRUCTIONS


Project Overview:
In this web design project, you will create a single-page website dedicated to your favorite topic. This project will help you develop your web design and development skills while allowing you to showcase your passion for the topic of your choice.

Project Requirements:
Artist Selection: Choose your favorite topic as the subject of your website. Ensure you are genuinely interested in the topic, as this will help you create a more engaging website. Decide the site's goal to ensure that the site has clear content.

Content:
Your content should have at least 5 sections that explain the topic of interest. It should engaging and significant to the topic. You should also include one CTA button that reflects the content.

Design Elements:
Choose a color scheme and fonts that reflect the artist's style or your taste.
Ensure a visually appealing layout with a balanced use of text and multimedia.
Create a responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes (mobile-friendly).

Navigation: Implement smooth scrolling navigation or a simple menu that allows users to jump to different sections of the page.

Interactivity: Consider adding interactive elements such as image sliders, hover effects, or light boxes for multimedia content.

First, I did a proposal to ask Mr.Shamsul approval alongside with the wireframe sketches.

Next, I did a prototype design before getting in to the html design. Here is my prototype :

After getting Mr.Shamsul feedback, I did a minor change for the prototype.

This is how my final website would look like. Next, I continue to do the html and css in adobe dreamweaver.
First, I do the about part, continue to concert part, and latest single part.

For the top music part, I just simply embed from Spotify.

Then, after the second feedback, I add call to button for the "latest single" part, as well as delete the line for the title.

FEEDBACK

Week 11 - Mr Shamsul suggest me the 4th sketch of the wireframe to proceed, he also asked me to add the hue color for the color palette. For the layout, don't make it too hard because simple one also attractive. I also need to have a CTA button and I'm going to add in the home page button to the artist's Spotify. 

Week 12 - Drop the lines in the design, need to have more white space. For the album section, need to have more info. In lates single needs to provide a call-to-action button so audience can listen the the music. For top music maybe can suggest song from spotify.

Week 13 - For the about part and concert part, make it paragraph, and don't wrap the text because it makes it look not interesting. Some put background image so its not too simple.


REFLECTION

For this task, me personally think that it's a very fun project because we are to choose a topic with our personal interest, I'm really enjoying every small step of me doing this project. Because of the tutorial Mr.Shamsul gave also really help me during this task, I learnt a lot during this interactive class. I would never thought of myself doing a website from html because that's just too hard for me in the past, but now I can do it, thanks to Mr.Shamsul help.
