UX Testing: Updating Website

After creating the UX Testing form and gained responses, I will be updating my website according to the response that I've received.

I first begin with opening my UX Testing form again to look at the responses. I looked at which aspect of the website I should update based on the additional feedback and areas of the response that are vastly more dominated by red (good), or has yellow (fair) in it.


First off, I will be updating the Gallery, as it gained a fair response as well as two responses about it on additional responses. The response stated that I should add more content while adding a title and topic to my projects. As such, I will be doing this as well as doing my projects page. This is what my Gallery page previously looked like in mobile view, which looked very empty:


I began with reviewing my Gallery page. Having realized that using Wix Projects as a gallery and portfolio page has drawbacks to its design, I decided to create a new Gallery page. I began with choosing a project template by going to Add Elements, Projects. I chose side by side because I think the picture and description are balanced.


Moving on, I changed the background of the strip on top to a picture in Unsplash. Then, I copied the description of the Gallery page from the previous page to the new one. After that, I deleted all the projects except for one, changed the image into my project's cover, changed the title into my project name, and then adding a new description on it.


Moving on, to create the project page, I created a general page and then made it a subpage. For the cover of this page, I changed the title from the template, added the project type and date, as well as writing a description of the story. I also changed the column background into my own image.


After that, I added my flipbook to showcase my work. To add this flipbook, I went to Yumpu, imported my script pdf into the program, copied its website link, went to Wix, chose Add Elements, Embeds, Website embeds, and then pasted the website link into the box. After that I enlarged it into the size of the page. With that done, I believe that I've added more content to my portfolio or gallery. You can check out a more in-depth progress of how I made this Gallery page in this blog post link: Website Creation: Updating the Website


Now, looking at one of the responses, I saw that the boxes text in the Contact Page should be made into the same size. Having tried that, I realized that this is inefficient because it makes people harder to read the overall message as they have to scroll. Because of that, I decided to stick with the same size.


Moving on, with majority of 70% stating that the mobile view is good, I decided that I can make some changes to the mobile view of the Gallery page, especially since the old Gallery has a bad design due to its small images by Wix Projects. Firstly, I put the title on front of the strip, changed it to white. Then, I changed the size of the description to 16px. Below it, I arranged the placement of the title, words, and numbers to be more organized.


In the project page,  I moved the title to the front of the column image. Then, I adjusted the size of the text. After that, I changed the size of the Yumpu flipbook to be fitting with the size. As stated, a more in-depth progress of this Gallery page is in this blog post link: Website Creation: Updating the Website


Considering that these are the more relevant feedback in my opinion, I have updated my website accordingly and have completed UX Testing.

Website Research: Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke

Image
In this post, I will look into two websites by filmmakers and compare both of them. This research will help me on creating my own website by considering the use of colors, layout, typography, image, useability, navigation, and my overall thoughts on the website. I will be looking into Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke's website, with both being filmmakers and quite experienced in the filmmaking industry. I would like to learn from two websites of two very different directors, with Kore-eda a 60-year-old filmmaker that is internationally known, and Cooke a young freelance filmmaker. Hirokazu Kore-eda's Website First off, I will talk about Hirokazu Kore-eda's website. From the home page, the website looks very simple, with a showcase of stills from his films. I noticed that his website only consists of Top, News, Profile & Works, as well as Message in the navigation, with the layout being centered and in a long bar. When I scrolled down, there is his twitter feed, news f

Website Creation: Gallery Page

Image
In this post, I will talk about the process of creating my Gallery page for my website. Because the layout of the gallery page already exists, I don't have to choose a template. The font I will be using Avenir. I began by editing the "My Gallery" section on top, then I wrote a short description on it as well.  Moving on, I moved on to the projects. I deleted most projects that the website has, and included my project, which is Grief & Loss Script, a 10-15 page long script on the theme of grief and loss. In it, I also included pictures of my script and my Milanote. In the future, I will be updating this project section with my progress on the script. After finishing the "My Gallery" desktop page, I moved to edit the mobile version. I changed the title to 24px and the description to 14px. I also tried to change the size of the project since it's too small, but after trying it, the size can't be altered.  With that, I had finished my Gallery page. Check

Reflection: Moments of Sorrow

Image
I gained an interest in theme of grief and loss through films and through my own concerns. I feel that the theme itself is very heavy, and is a challenge to write because of its complexity. However, I wrote this story for more personal reasons. I often thought about whether or not I will be ready when people I loved died, and how I will be able to move on from those moments of sorrow. As such, I feel that this is personally a way of preparing myself to face that fear. Along with this, I wrote this story because I want to not only understand the nature of grief and how it affects people, but of how we can move forward from an unforgettable loss of a loved one. As an aspiring filmmaker, I am very much eager to learn about all aspects of filmmaking, especially writing which I view to be the most important aspect of films as its often the core of the story and film itself. As such, this project has helped me to do more writing, especially in terms of having to fit the story into only 15 pa
