Creating a Website: Contact page & social links

-

In this post I will be making a contact page so that people will we be able to get in touch with me.



I clicked on "add elements" at the left hand menu. It opened up different options of things to add, I clicked on "contact & forms", clicked on contact and selected the template I wanted. I then placed the contact form in the position I wanted and set the notifications to come to my gmail address.I also began to customize my contact form. I customized it by picking a form background colour, changing the submit button style and colour, also changing the input field style and colour. Finally I changed the font style to "Inknut Antiqua" to ensure uniformity with my other texts.


 
 
 After that, I clicked on ''change section background". I then uploaded an image I downloaded from Unsplash unto my page and saved my work





The next thing i did was add social links to my page. I clicked on "add elements" on the left hand menu, went to "social" and selected the one I wanted and added it to my footer. I clicked on "set social links" deleted the social media I didn't have and added Blogger as one of my socials. I then went to my blogger and attached the link to it and did the same for my Instagram sketchbook account. I previewed my work and checked if all the links worked properly.




I checked my mobile view on the contact page and adjusted my name because it wasn't properly aligned. I also adjusted my menu bar to the right. I saved my work and previewed it to check if it looked okay.

 
 

I then checked my mobile view on my home page. I only had to adjust my section height because the picture came out to big. After adjusting, I saved it and previewed it to see if it looks okay and everything worked fine.

Beginning Research: Mick Pearce

I am choosing Mick Pearce as he is an architect who has done a lot of work in restoring and transforming buildings (mainly in Central Africa) while also minimizing damage to the environment. In recent years he has done more sustainable architecture involving biomimicry and most recently, passive cooling systems. 'An original and innovative architect, Mick Pearce is particularly renowned for his work on the bio-ecological aspects of the built environment.' (Prince Claus Fund, n.d.). The building that I will be looking at is the Eastgate Centre located in Harare, Zimbabwe because the building takes inspiration from nature which I can also relate back to my project work The Eastgate Centre by Mick Pearce (1996) The Eastgate Centre, which has a total combined floor area of 55,000 metres aquare is a shopping centre and office space located in the centre of Harare. Mick Pearce drew inspiration for the building from nature, specifically termite mounds. Termites build mounds which m...

Initial Ideas (Crazy Eights)

After looking at the project brief of the three themes (Primitivism, pop art, industrial) we were tasked with generating ideas based on our chosen theme. I chose primitivism as my theme as I think it gives me a more creative route and the theme is a bit broader than the rest. I started with creating a mind map I wrote down all the things I associated with the theme such as nature, history, land and so on. This helped me not to think too much on the specifics and to see how many different sections of primitivism I could choose from when creating the final project. After that we did a task called 'Crazy Eights' which required us to draw our ideas and develop them within a set time frame as it was supposed to be just a quick sketch of what we were thinking about regarding the project at the time. We folded our paper to get eight different sections for our sketches       I initially thought of African huts so I drew that first then i started to develop on that idea. I thought...

In this post I will be creating my portfolio and website gallery on my Wix website. I will also be adding my finalised Architecture Project unto the gallery The first thing I changed was the background colour of my portfolio page. I right clicked on the mouse and clicked on 'change background' and selected the colour I wanted. I did this to show consistency with all my other pages and to also make the colour more inviting for viewers.     I then added an image to the page by clicking on the 'Add' button on my left hand menu and then clicked on 'image' and on 'upload image'. I then chose an image of my project from my files. I proceeded to add the image unto my page also using the transform tools to reposition the image to the center. My next step was to create a new page. I went to the pages menu on the left hand margin and clicked on 'New Page' and clicked on it to change the name to my Project name, 'SolarHaven Home'. I then clicked on ...
