2.2  Looking for Idea

After drafting the CV, I went onto Pinterest to look for some idea. 
Here is the link link to the inspo board on Pinterest.

2.3  Sketching wireframes

After all the findings in Pinterest, I start to sketch out my idea for the wireframes.

2.4  Exploration Figma 

Since this time is my first time to use Figma, therefore before using it to digitalize my resume, I start to explore Figma.

2.4.1  Sign-Up

I first sign-up Figma using my Google Account. 

2.4.2  Explore

After I sign-up Figma, I start to explore Figma.

2.5  Digitizing in Figma

After getting the sketch is done, I started doing the digitization using Figma. I had never used Figma before so this was really a hard time for me.

2.5.1  Working Process

I first open a new frame and rename the file as "Project 01".

Figure 2.5  Open a new frame using Frame Tool

Next, I decided to open the "Layout Grid", this can adjust the text and elements makes then more allign. 

Figure 2.6  Open Layout Grid

I decided to add all the content and layout first before moving to the colour

After finnishing the layout and typesetting, I start to decide on the colour palette. 

Figure 2.8  Colour Palette

After decided the colour palette, I start to used in the layout.

After I put on the colour to the layout, I found out that the colour and layout is very messy and I don't like it that much, so I have to change the whole design again. I then sketch a new design layout and digitalize all over again. 

Figure 2.10  Sketch 02

This is the new design with the same colour palette, but in different transparency.

After finnishing the new layout, I start to add all the information text and my photo into the frame.

When I finished, I was not satisfied, and I thought there was still something to be improved.  For example, layout and fonts. Because the current version is a little too crowded, it might be better to loosen it up a bit, or replace the text with some interactive elements to save spaces.

After finnished the layout, I submitted the blog link to the Google Classroom (28/05/2024). But when attending the physical class at 29 May 2024, we asked Mr Shamsul about the size for the resume, he said that the size for the resume should be in desktop size (Width:1440px), and he forgot to told our class about the size due to the public holiday we had in Week 5, and he extended the submission day for two days, which we had to submit before 31 May 2024 11:59p.m.  and I had to change my design again, because my frame size was very small compare to the required one.

This was my new layout in new frame size. I have made changes on the content, which I have added the content, which make m resume more plentiful. I have added the part, "About Me", "Personalities", "Hobbies", "Languages" and "Abilities". I have also added several icon that make my resume (CV) more attractive and easy to read.

4. REFLECTION

This project provided a great introduction to web layout. I learned that when designing a webpage, it's important to keep the amount of text to a minimum to avoid clutter. However, a well-organized paragraph of text can also be effective. It also made me realize the importance of presenting information on a screen.

I found my experience with this task to be satisfactory. To be honest, this task mainly involved me browsing Pinterest for inspiration on how to design a website, as I don't have much experience in that area.
