I gotta go to bed soon, however, I would say my website is finished and I have successfully completed my challenge!

Completed Work

At first I went for a more pink and orange-ish color palette (as I was mimicking the color palette on my Canva design) and felt it gave a warm, cozy feeling. However, my favorite color is blue, so in an attempt to make the website more personal to me I experimented around with the colors - which ended up taking a bit longer than expected. Afterwards, I learned that it was possible to make elements, like a paperclip, completely out of CSS, so I spent the rest of my time adding a paper clip to the archived section of my website. I also made a few small formatting changes to the html (like adding line breaks and fixing typos, for instance) to polish up the design a bit more. I also added a favicon.

Although I could add some more elements, I feel like I have completed my main objective and would like to use my remaining time to prep my website for submission!

Next Steps

I will definitely try to consistently make small future updates to the site where I will add more logs and scrapbook elements to the site. I’m thinking of making it messier with doodles, polaroids, and scrap paper scattered around the margins. I’m also debating the font as I feel it lacks some readability but it also matches my rushed handwriting well.
