EX5 – Design testing and evaluating

Caroline’s feedback

Figure 1: This is Caroline’s feedback regardless of my website and what could be done to improve my website in terms of accessability.

Regardless of my website and what may be done to make it more accessible, this is Caroline’s feedback. The website is in decent shape, however as Caroline said, “An additional menu which is not need” can hinder accessibility by misleading the user because the burger emblem is frequently used in menus, and by having nothing there, the user may assume there is something there.

Improvement

You will show how you have responded to the evaluation in terms of design changes or in terms of identifying issues for consideration. You should annotate the key points in the participants narration and show with screen shots and annotations the changes you have made to the design or propose making.

After listening to Caroline’s feedback, I have removed the not required menu and while watching the video I realised that there is also a comment section in “RP1 – Grids and Frames ” which was also removed.

Rana’s feedback

According to Rana “However, in the video I experienced some difficulty with one image that I could not get a bigger zoom-in feature. This had me pause and experience a little amount of difficulty when trying to get a closer look at that specific image.” This issue would stop the user from viewing the content which may be useful to you.

“Another improvement I would give Karolina is to just make sure that all her images are clickable and that users can actually access the zoom-in feature to all her images that have been posted. This makes her pages and media files user-friendly and all images can be accessed in any way with no hassle to the user.”

EX3 – Video production, design and editing using Premiere

Figure 1 : This is a video of me going to the Bonfire Night.
Figure 2 : The video montaging process, so in order to create this video I have created a set of small videos and sticked them together to make a one minute film. So I have used effect controls to add motion to the graphic identity.

EX2 – Web and graphic design using the Elementor Plugin for WordPress

Figure 1 : Opening the Elementor and adding the shape divider with an added art creation.

This is an experiment using plugins for Elementor. I must download and activate the Elementor plugin first. I went to the site settings and changed the layout from “Theme” to “Elementor Canvas” by pressing the layout button. By clicking the six dots, I added the shape dividers after selecting the structure and moving on. After that, I can also add an image by splitting the structure in two and dragging the image button into the empty spot I discovered. By selecting an image from the media files or uploading one from the computer while hovering over the arrangement. I may also decide how the image should fit and how opaque it should be.
In order to alter the typeface and colours as I clicked a new structure, I hovered over the heading button and went to the style settings. There are numerous typefaces to pick from, but I am unable to add my own. By copying the hex code from the Adobe Stock, I can also get the colour of my choice. I have chosen the structure and moved the Text Editor nearly next to the Heading in order to add more text. Additionally, I gave the sections full reign to move. To space out my work, I have also added the divider and spacers.

Then I uploaded additional pictures and created a carousel to show the picture I had selected from the media file, complete with captions and an arrow to move on to the next picture. I have chosen a structure and added the Video button in order to add a video.

In order to move between the sections I’ve previously created, I used a navigation section and hit a preview to see how the design would seem on a different device and the responsiveness at the transition happens.

Moodboard

This is a moodboard for my porfolio projects which contain the typography and colours which I’m going to follow though the project. Typography I’m going to use is Poor Richard and Lucinda Handwriting.

This is a physical moodboard for my portfolio project, which examines how the homeless are mistreated, particularly during the current, bitterly cold winter, and how they are stereotyped in society. Because you need to mentally want something in order to act on it physically, even a modest act of compassion might prompt a homeless person to reevaluate their situation and perhaps even transform their life. According to Hull Live, “Now homeless groups have decried a lack of resources and inadequate support for the reason why people are slipping between the gaps.” as a result, more and more people in Hull are showing up on the streets.
