Character Website!

The persistence of project 2 was to create a website to represent our favorite cartoon character whether that be anime or Saturday morning television show. My favorite cartoon character ended up being Goku from dragon ball super. The reason why I choose him was because he is incredibly overpowered. Honestly for those who are Dragon Ball Super die-hard fans you can understand why. [Honestly though super Saiyan blue with kaioken times ten?]  In order to convey my character on to my website and to represent Goku is by creating a home page about him, an about page to display where he came from, how the website was created and a copyright page for all the images that were used and where all the information was found.

There were some difficult and easy parts about creating this website. One difficult part was again the time constraints. I had a lot of trouble with time management this semester because I am running out of time at my house. I have made other dedications that go beyond school that are not negotiable. If I hadn’t had these constraints I would be spending a lot more time on completing and researching for my projects. For instance I realize that my website is lacking a lot of CSS, cascading style sheets. This is what keeps your website dressed and look nice from afar; basically if coding and programming was an essay the CSS would be the hook that draws people into the actual site to even care about the content in the first place. The easiest part of the project was honestly the navigation bar. I had no trouble with the navigation bar because I have already used it in a previous project of mine.

            In this project we are given a lot of freedom, which is why I like this project. The whole point of the project was to see how far we could get with our new found skills in the CSS branch of coding. We go to choose our favorite characters; we were able to use any image as long as it had a copyright section where we had to list the sources in which we found the images or articles in the first place, and finally we were given the freedom of how we wanted to convey our message of our character. It is a shame that we could not present the project however, this was due to the time constraints that we were given.
