MOBart

I completed my website using Wix.com as required for this final project. My website is called MOBart Designs and it can be found at https://www.mobartdesigns.com . Photoshop techniques learned in this course were used to create the Home page and the Contact page. The logo was created in Photoshop as well. There is an About page with a photo and "my story". Developing the Portfolio page was definitely a challenge. I created subpages in the Portfolio by separating my work into galleries. I have two Photography galleries, an Illustrations, a Craft Designs and a Past Projects gallery. My website is user friendly having the navigation bar and buttons throughout the site. I plan to continue to develop my website by creating a Facebook and Instagram  for my designs in the near future. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts. Thank you in advance!

These are my preliminary sketches of what my website design will look like. My home page will be an introduction with logo, name and photo or illustration in the background. The navigation tabs above consist of Home, Portfolio, About and Contact pages which will help you navigate the website with ease. In the Portfolio section I will have sections for my photography, illustrations and craft designs with a description of each artwork. The About Me page will have a photo with "my story".  Finally,  the last one is the Contact page where I can be reached.  My goal is to have a user friendly website that is pleasing to the eye.   All comments are welcome as always. *Below are various sketches of logos with the final rendering displayed below.

I used the black dropper and clicked on the darkest point of the photo to set the black point and I then adjusted the overall contrast of the picture.  Once satisfied with the photo’s appearance I then mo...
