Principles of Applied Design
Web Design - Part One

Practicing the basics of HTML to build a simple web page.
Class: Principles of Applied Design
Resources Used: GA Dash
This project tasked me with the challenge of learning basic HTML code to create a very simple mock landing page. The landing page is intended to be an online space for individuals to learn a bit more about me and to get into contact, the instruction and format taken from following GA Dash lessons. The project itself refreshed my memory on HMTL code, and reminded me how important attention to detail can be.
For this website, I coded an image of backstage as a background, and added a black color behind it. Next I dropped the image transparency down to darken the image, making the white text easier to read on top. I then added header text for my name which I styled to be centered. Underneath of that is a headshot image of myself, with a max-width of about 300 pixels to stop it from getting too big on any screen.
Overall, this project strengthened my understanding of basic HTML structure and simple CSS styling while demonstrating how small design decisions can improve both the appearance and usability of a webpage.
