Updating my website pages / Uploading my boards process - Project Development

-

 This is my process of fixing my website and uploading my project. 



First, I went to my portfolio page and added a subpage for my new project by clicking on the 'page' icon, clicked on 'add page', and then when the page was created I turned it into a subpage from the 3 dot icon settings. 




Then I added the same button icon setting that I already had on my portfolio page, which would lead to the new project. I did that by clicking on "add elements" on the left side toolbar, then clicked on the "button" section and selected the same design as the rest of them. After I placed it next to the rest, I clicked on it and then on the "change text & icon" selection that pops up and changed the text, and selected the link for the new page that leads to the third project 




After that, I went to my 'about me' page and updated my writing.


After that, I decided to change the backgrounds using my pictures. I didn't want to use pictures of my work because I thought that it would make it look less clean so I picked pictures I took of different buildings. Then I changed the background by clicking on each page and then clicked on 'change section background', then on 'image', 'upload media', and 'upload from computer' and chose the images I selected. 




After adding the backgrounds, I went back to my portfolio page and added a white background to the texts because of the picture. I did that by clicking on each text and then 'edit text', and clicked on the highlight icon that's under the fond size setting.


Then I added my background for my project page the same way I uploaded my previous images.



Next, I added my gallery by going to the left setting bar and clicking on the 'add element' icon, and then chose the sliding gallery. 


Then I clicked on the gallery, 'change images', removed the ones that were already there, and added my boards. I gave them titles and then made the gallery bigger.


When my boards were ready in the gallery I noticed the edges were cut off so I clicked on it, then on the setting icon and scrolled down to the ' how do images behave' and clicked on 'fit'. Then to change the dark frames I clicked on it again and then on the the design icon. I clicked on 'custom design' and then on 'border' and brought the opacity to 0%.


After that, I thought it would be better to change this background as well, so I chose the picture of the location I picked for this project and brought the opacity down by clicking it, then on 'change section background' and then on the settings, and lowered it to 40%.


After, I added the title and text by clicking on 'add elements', 'text', and then 'add heading 1' and 'add heading 3'. I chose the 'carmorant garamond light' fond, 60px for the title and 30px for the text. 


Lastly, I added the same 'back to home' and 'back to portfolio' buttons.



After I finished everything I saved and republished the website.

Week 3 Further Research - Wassily Kandinsky

Image
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist and he is considered one of western art's forefathers of abstraction. He took painting studies in his 30s after completing his studies for law and economics. He was fascinated by colours, colour symbolism, and psychology from a young age and he traveled to the "Vologda region north of Moscow" as a part of an "ethnographic" research group, where the artworks and buildings he found there with shimmering and bright colours on dark backgrounds made him feel like he was moving in a painting, which inspired him in his early work.  His abstract work developed over time through his intense thinking on his artistic experiences, "inner beauty", "fervor of spirit" and "spiritual desire inner necessity" were central aspects of his art.  His interest in abstraction started when one day he went home to find one of his paintings hanging upside down which he stared at for some time. He was al

 This is my process of creating my boards for my final art portfolio project, using Photoshop.  First I created a new document by clicking on 'New File', then 'print', 'A3', and chose the landscape mode. after my page was open I went on 'Unsplash' to find a related background.  Then I clicked on 'File' that's at the top left corner, 'open' and 'on your computer' and chose the image that I downloaded.  After that, I selected the image with the 'rectangular marquee' tool which is the first icon on the left toolbar and then clicked on 'edit', 'copy' and then went to my first page, clicked on 'edit' again and pasted it. Then from the right tool bar I lowered the opacity to 40% which is located at the 'layers' category.  Then I followed the same steps with uploading my concept image and arranged the size and placement by clicking on the 'move' tool and then clicking on 'show trans

Week 5 further research

 In week 5 of planning, I'm doing some more research. Today I'm researching Rem Koolhaas, a Dutch architect who is known for his gravity-defying structures. His innovative and futuristic style has been setting standards for years, he thinks that "Terms like city, street, identity, and architecture are things of the past. The past is too small to live in". One of his famous works is the "De Rotterdam" building, this is a multifunctioning building, (a great work to look up to since my project revolves around multifunctional requirements as well), he describes his work as a "vertical city".                                                                                      The De Rotterdam  This building is located  at  Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam, he designed it in 1998 and it started at the end of 2009 and was finalized at the end of 2013. The stacked buildings of the De Rotterdam are organized in a subtly uneven cluster that resists unifying into
