This week I put together my manifesto site using the knowledge I learned about media queries. The fonts used in this site were Raleway in regular and bold for headers and Source Code Pro for the body copy. I used the html span tag to emphasize certain words in color in each of my three points that I talk about. For mobile testing, I used Chrome's Dev tool to simulate different screen resolutions and make adjustments accordingly. Once my site was built and everything was responsive, I went back in and added webkit animations as well as a custom cursor through scripting. I really wanted this to be a site that was both an interesting read and fun to interact with.
Final Project Proposal
For this project, I intend to create a website that utilizes the font I created. The website will serve as an introduction to the font and will provide a download link. When visitors view the site, they will be greeted by a short animation featuring the name of the typeface, ‘Amateur Blueprint’. Afterwards, they will scroll down and read about what inspired it, possible use cases, and optimal sizes for reading it. Below the body text will be a text box that allows users to test the font before they decide to download. Provided I have enough time, I may also create additional glyphs for my font and expand upon it.
Wow Jimmy! Your final project proposal sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to see what you end up doing. It seems a bit ambitious for the timeframe. If you need to scale back I would get the animation completed and then use website builders such as adobe portfolio, square space, etc. If you have any questions or need any help please let me know.
