Website Creation: Homepage

At Digital Arts class I was creating my own website. To create a website I used a program called WIX. By using WIX I choose a template ''Artist''.The photo below shows what it looks like in its original form. I chose this because I liked the way the color was written, and the way the different parts were structured. 


My next step was editing the main menu. In order to put all pages I need for my website, I opened the option in the menu of the editor called 'Site Pages and Menu'.  Then I pressed the 'Add' and 'Edit' buttons. So I added and named my main pages of the website, which will be in the menu. 



After that, I started editing my menu. The first thing I did was choosing animation 'Fly in'. As you can see in the photo below I also edited this animation to the result I want to get. 


After editing the animation, I went to the 'Design Menu', where I chose the 'Horizontal Menu' option. However, I wanted to change the font and size of the letters, so I clicked on 'Customize Design'. In the photo below you can see what specific changes I made. 



Then to make my Home page not look empty, I went to the editor’s menu and chose 'Add Section-Welcome' option. That’s where I picked out my favorite third section and put it on my home page. 


My next step was to choose a photo. To do this I clicked on the field where I wanted to place the picture and then clicked on 'Change Column Backgroung'. So I uploaded a photo that fits my project, which I’ll put on the Portfolio page. 


My penultimate step was to add text to the Home Page that described the main purpose of my site. To do this, I went to the Editor Menu and clicked 'Add Element' where I chose 'Text'. I did this action three times.  In the photo below you can see what settings I applied to my bottom piece of text. For the two lines above the main paragraph, the settings were almost the same, but I changed their size to larger to attract attention.


My last action in creating a Home Page was to create a button that would help people go straight to the About page. To do this, I went back to the main menu of the editor and chose the 'Add Element-Button' option. 


I chose the button design I liked and placed it under my main text. To make it work, I clicked on it and went into the 'Linked settings'. There I inserted the necessary link and chose the settings I need.

This is what my final Home Page result looks like.

Software testing: Flipping Book

 In this and subsequent posts, I would like to test the platforms that would help me create my journal article. In this particular post, I’m going to take a visual example of how I used the Flipping Book . Also at the end, I will share my impressions about this software.  First of all, I opened Flipping Book website and signed up with my google account.  After I registered, a pop-up window asked me to upload my material. Since I already had my project ready I pushed the button 'Download PDF'.  In less than 30 seconds, my project looked like a magazine(see below). After my project was fully loaded, I started editing. The first thing I wanted to do was change the background from gray to something brighter. To do this, I pressed the Skin button and chose the picture I liked from those you can see below. I chose the picture, which is called the School Board, but it was too bright, so I decided to correct this moment so that the reader was not distracted by things he did not need. T
