GRC 175 Learning and Discussion Forum

Coding this thing has certainly been an adventure but one that I kind of enjoyed. What I have wasn't what I wanted in my heart of hearts, but all things considered its not bad. I can also come back and reupload if I ever get my image carousel trio working. But in the meantime, here be it.

Click the email link if you would like to watch a video of a baby seal. No, really.

This looks great! i love the layout and the use of color and imagery, very well done, I might bring down the email a tiny bit

This website is awesome and I love how the pictures pop up when hovered over cute detail. Nice job

Great job, keep up the good work!

Great images and color palette, I also like the UI animations on the photos as well. I would say the text layout needs a little work, which you are probably aware of. Otherwise the layout is functional and intuitive and is a great start to the page.

your images are so cool! I like the outline on them and how when you hover over them they enlarge a bit. i think the only thing that looks a little funky is the alignment of your bio, I just think it would look better aligned all the way right so that its easier to read and maybe try spacing the words farther apart. I think overall it looks really good and I really like the font you used for your navigation.

Eeeey! The image trio! Looking good there, Megan.

You've done a good job translating your design from a rough to a functional website. I know this one's a bit of a silver medal for you, but it's a lovely silver medal, indeed. I really like the colors you chose. They establish great contrast and make for a good background for your images. Everything has such great margins on this thing too. Nothing's crowded and you use proximity and distance well to establish grouping between objects. Nice use of live fonts throughout as well. They seem to be functioning well in most browsers and soften up your layout. Nice typographic hierarchy. I can glance at it and immediately get an idea of what's important. Great choices on the photos too. They do such a good job of setting the scene here. And your subtle behavior of having the images enlarge on rollover adds a fun bit of visual interest. Going all baby seal with that email link, too.

I don't really see much wrong with it, truth be told.

Excellent work!

Hi Megan!

Great work at bringing your project one site concept to life! Really love this layout and those circles with the different pictures and they're even cooler now with the zoom animations your applied to them!

My only critique would be to perhaps adjust the placement of that bottom circle so that the nav can come up a bit at the footer as it isn't visible when you first get on your site. But other than that, fantastic work! Keep it up!

Best,
Zach

Hi megan
this is looking so good! i think those circle images you have are still so cool and make your website look so much more interesting! your website is coming along so great and you can tell you put a lot of work into this!

Hey Megan,
Lovely layout! I absolutely enjoy the use of the black script font against the light turquoise background, and that the white text does not compete with it whatsoever but is not inferior either--amazing sense of hierarchy! Also great coding work with making the images grow larger when the mouse hovers them, it would be really cool if you code them later to where if they were clicked on it opens the image fully--but good job nonetheless! My only concerns are about the margins on the bottom and the email placement; all of the text closer to the bottom (the course information, TMCC logo, and buttons) are scooted up away from the edge that it feels like there is an invisible rectangle blocking them from doing so, to fix this, I think it would be best to scoot them back down a little so that it would match the space between your name and the top edge of the website; for the email placement, when I view it on a 1920px X 1080px display, it seems to go over your name a little bit, so there might be some coding issues with that. But besides all this, I'd say great coding work and design!
