Creating a Website: Contact Page & Social Links

 This is my contact and social links for my website first is my contact page, I want to make it simple and understandable my site name was on the left top hand corner, social links and the menu buttons are on the right top hand side corner.

The contact details are in the middle of the page and the bottom part have a button that takes you to the "HOME PAGE" when you click it. 

These are the social links that I putted on my website in the future I might be add more or deleted on the circumstances but for now they are looking nice.

I've putted my YouTube, discord, Instagram and TikTok of my channel and also the Blogger and Instagram Sketchbook that I created and uploaded every week for my School works.

Software Practice/Costumer Profile

 

Today I am going to create a costumer profile in Photoshop as software practice and to show who my target market is.

I began by opening Photoshop and clicking on 'New File' and then a dialog box opens.  In this box I go to the top menu and clicked on 'Print' and then 'view all presets'  I then chose A4 size as I will be creating a book cover and I checked that the resolution was 300ppi so that the work would be of printable quality.  I then chose the background colour as white and then I clicked on 'create' and now have a white canvas to work on.

My next step was to go to unsplash to find a suitable image to mock up my front cover.  I found the right colourful image and downloaded this onto my desktop at a high resolution.  I then went to 'File' on the top menu and then 'open'.  I then again went to the top menu and then clicked on 'Select' and in the drop down box 'Select All' and then I went 'Edit' in the top menu and then in the drop down box 'Copy'.  Then went back to my canvas tab and clicked on 'Edit' and then 'Paste.  I then used the transform control to drag the image over the edges of the canvas to cover the page. I then clicked on the top tool (Move tool) in the left hand menu to ensure that the transform of the image stayed in position. 

Tyler Edline & Maciej Kuciara : Website Evaluation & Comparison

 In this post I will be comparing the websites of Tyler Edline and Maciej Kuciara. I will be looking at the design , layout, colour pattern, technical aspects such as ease of use, presentation of galleries and how easy to use and understand the artist.

Tylor Edline

I will start with Tyler Edline and his website. The website is well presented, at the home page he show his portfolio, full gallery of his works, his print product shop and tutorials. In the header there is a navigation that includes his Home, gallery, mentorship, tutorials, shop and contact pages. Page look is simple but clear you can find pages easily. 

On his Contact page he putted his short information and contact sheet on the bottom of the page his email attached. The biography about what works he done and giving information about himself.

Maciej Kuciara

The second website I've been looking at is Maciej Kuciara . This website gives us a short but fascinating short video show. Her works were shown at the homepage on the bottom if the homepage she gave his social media links. on top of the page Film, Art, Photography, shop, Tutorials and her about page. 

On her About page she gave information about her and her works with a fascinating background of her cosplay images, she gave Exhibitions/Shows, Clients, Ventures etc. and I think she designed her website very well and well designed, the site can attract people.

Bio of my Website

 

Bio of (Serkan) Me:

Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Merhaba, My name is Serkan Omer Bali but I mostly use my first name, I just want to make a warm hello to my bio :). I am 19 years old, I am from Turkiye (Yep, It's Turkiye not Turkey) and  I've been away from my home country almost 3,5 years, I miss there so much, I am living in Leicester, UK. I'm currently studying in DMUIC Art & Design .

 I am a Concept and Comic Art's Student and I really want to be in a Concept Character Designing and Comic writing crew in the future, I am into  drawing since my childhood, my mom actually very good at art and she inspires me to draw and make structures, that's why I'm so much into making little statues, and drawing. The series of Marvel gets me into Art, I follow artist on YouTube to understand the drawing techniques.

I'm currently working in a Charity called Dialogue Society my job is editing the special day posts, I am a "Social Media Content Specialist for Awareness Days" also you can call "Social Media Content Creator" I've been working for volunteer there for almost 3 years. Here is a short info of Dialogue Society: The Dialogue Society is a registered charity, established in London in 1999 with the aim of advancing social cohesion by connecting communities, empowering people to engage and contributing to the development of ideas on dialogue and community building. (Dialogue Society, 2023) .

I also have a YouTube Channel (Alcyone Gaming, n.d.) mostly about mobile games cause the time I started making videos I haven't got a pc, I been active during the Corona Lockdown time cause there is nothing to do and we all stuck in houses, on TikTok I make an edit videos about cars and motorcycles sometimes I edit videos that already exist with different editing for fun. I mostly play online FPS games in my free time (if I don't have more important works than that) I also play RPG games to escape the reality to discover new worlds that are more interesting and inspiring for my designs and life choices. 

The word "Future" scares me a lot because I can't even express myself at the mean time but, I want to work with a group of Comic and Concept Artist to create a comic book story and also I want to work at a big, famous game company like Riot Games, where I can design characters and environments for their games, especially the series of Arcane and also I want to make concept design for weapon skins in Valorant.

Creating a Website: Social Media & Contact Page

Today I created my contact page and I began by creating a new page I did this by clicking on the left hand side menu button for menu and pages.  I then clicked on 'add page' and created a new 'contact' page.  I then added added a new contact form by clicking on the left hand side menu 'Add' button and choosing 'Contact and forms'. Then I added my socials such as Instagram, Pinterest and Blogger. 

 

I added a contact page and deleted the useless pages, I added a image for the background of Contact and I used simple background for the page. 

Then I started organizing the page for Mobile, It took a long time cause all the socials, texts, and borders mixed up but I organized it all.

This is the About Page looks like after I organized the elements on the page

I then previewed and check ed that everything worked.
