Project 2: Working Web Page - Creating Digital Resume/CV

In project 2, we need to create a working website that closely aligns with our original prototype design - Digital Resume/CV.

Requirements:
  • Review the static prototype from Project 1 and analyze its layout, typography, color scheme, and imagery.
  • Use HTML and CSS to translate the design elements into code.
My Original Prototype - Digital Resume/CV



Working Process

Fig 1.1 Put in basic information content

First, I created a new index file and put my basic information content in it. I set the background to two colors and used a script to help me control the space between the contact and my name.

Fig 1.2 Apply font

After that, I found the font that same as the original prototype from Google Fonts. The font is called Oxygen. I applied it to the entire website, just with different weights, such as bolder headings.

Fig 1.3 Divide content into two parts

My resume has two parts: education and experience. I have divided them into two parts and listed them side by side.

Fig 1.4 Create skills bar

Next, I used Progress to create the technical skills bar. I have changed the color to make them look suitable for the website. I did not apply the Oxygen font to the software title, as I did on my original prototype. I just bolded and enlarged the text.

Fig 1.6 Attach other blog links

In the ‘Feel Free to visit my blog’ text, I bolded the word ‘Blog’ and attached a link to it. It leads directly to my blog page. Finally, I also attached 3 links to the blog pages of other modules that people might want to know about them. I also used CSS to style all my links.

Reflection

This is my first time creating a website by myself. I must say it was a difficult and challenging process for me.  This project taught me the complexities of web development and the importance of detail-oriented coding. I have understood the importance of planning and structuring HTML to ensure a seamless layout and use CSS to style the web page taught me about the intricacies of design elements like fonts, color schemes, and responsive design. They are all significant when creating a website.
