Class Summary

Week 1
Mr Shamsul briefed us through the module and explained the tasks that will be assigned to us throughout this semester which breaks into Exercises, Project 1, Project 2 and Final project & E-portfolio. He showed us some examples and differences between a multiple pages website and single page website with sections which would be something expected from us. The softwares that we will be using for coding are such as Adobe Dreamweaver, Visual Studio Code or Figma.

Week 2
Today we watched a video on Norman door which is all about the makings of human centered design websites. We can use design thinking processes (emphathize, define, ideate, prototype then test) to find any errors that needed to be amend as it will affect the User Experience. Mr Shamsul divided us into groups to make a website wireframe design according to scenarios given.

Exercise 1: Web Analysis
For this week's exercise, we are assigned to choose 2 websites from the site given then analyze the design, layout, content and functionality. Then, we are also required to identify the strengths and weakness of the website considering how it could impact the user experience. We are required to write a brief report summary not more than 500 words in Google Slides. Formatting must be clear and screen capture to explain may be included.


What To Have in The Analysis:
- Consider the purpose and goals of the website, and evaluate whether they are effectively communicated to the user.
- Evaluate the visual design and layout of the website, including its use of color, typography, and imagery.
- Consider the functionality and usability of the website, including its navigation, forms, and interactive elements.
- Evaluate the quality and relevance of the website's content, including its accuracy, clarity, and organization.
- Consider the website's performance, including its load times, responsiveness, and compatibility with different devices and browsers.

Exercise 2: Web Analysis
For this week's exercise, we are required to replicate two websites main pages using either Photoshop or Illustrator. Follow the dimensions of the existing website from the width and height. This exercise will help you develop your design skills using software such as Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, and gain insights into web design best practices. You can use any image from stock image or free stock icon. The image that you will be using does not have to be an exact image from the original website. You may replace it with a similar image. Focus on the layout, type style, and color style. To find similar typefaces, find them from Google Fonts.


First website: Ocean Health Index
https://www.oceanhealthindex.org

The first thing to do was to find the dimension of the web before replicating it. By rightclicking and clicking inspect, I was taken to the inspection page where I can obtain all the info on the page like the color pallete, dimensions, typeface, fontsize and more.

Exercise 3: Creating a Recipe Card
In this exercise, you will create a recipe card using HTML and CSS. The goal is to design a basic webpage that displays a recipe's ingredients and instructions in a visually appealing format.

Create an HTML file named "index.html."
Create a section that displays the following information:
Recipe title
Include necessary images for the page
List of ingredients
Step-by-step cooking instructions
Create an external CSS file named "style.css."
Apply CSS rules to style your recipe card.
Use CSS selectors such as element selectors (e.g., body, h1, ul), class selectors (e.g., .recipe-title, .ingredient-list), and ID selectors (e.g., #instructions) to style different parts of the card.
