Make a new portfolio website that better showcases my ability, personality, and artistry! + a blog section. proof by demonstration
My first portfolio website I made freshman year of undergrad to buff up my barren resume for an application to a robotics club.
I mocked it up in Figma, watched 3-4 Youtube tutorials on making a portfolio with just html/css, and did a lot of hard-coding of CSS, and veeeery minimal javascript for scrolling to sections. I like how it looks, but it’s a little plain/simple. It also doesn’t resize very well (I did do CSS for mobile but it’s definitely not following best practices).
Things I like about my original portfolio
- green and pink color scheme
- fun desktop window inspired box layouts
- having simple artistic elements
- all the important things on one page (minimize clicks!)
Things I don’t like:
- doesn’t resize well
- too simple
- project images being separate from project description…
- no blog!
- no sections to showcase non tech works :p
I am inspired by the Websites I really like
