Hi friends! I created a website that is basically about me and what makes up my identity. This blog post is going to be a reflection of this project, I hope you enjoy!

From my website, I hope that viewers can get a grasp on a few things that are important to me. The three topics I have on my blog are the main things that make me, me. Overall I hope that the audience can see what makes up who I am, and then can take a look inside themselves to see what things make up who they are. This sort of project was so much easier for me to make than a tradition essay style report. I get super anxious when I write essays because they are formal and I struggle when It comes to using proper grammar/forming formal sentences. I love projects that are more personal and can be what the creator makes of it. I liked having to look through all of my memories to find pictures that fit what I was going for. Although building the website took forever (I’m a perfectionist when it comes to websites and design) I think it was worth it because I ended with a project that I am really proud of. 

Selecting pictures took a long time, but actually wasn’t that hard. The topics I was discussing on my website are topics that are a huge part of my life so I have a ton of pictures to go off of. The hard part was really just choosing pictures that signified big moments/contained stuff that meant a lot to me. I also wanted the pictures to look good next to each other, so I had to go in and edit a few so all of the pictures would compliment each other. When it came to the writing, I wanted to have a very personal sound when it came to the writing portions. I don’t love formal writing because I think that it is more interesting to read passages that feel like someone is actually talking to me rather than reading words from a page. I phrased my captions to reflect that. I wanted the site to be as personal as possible, as if I were presenting each portion of my website live. Additionally, I wanted a website that was clean and concise and had a cool vibe. I’m a very straight to the point person and I wanted my website to reflect that. I also like sleek looking websites so I chose a template that reflected that.
