I am majoring in graphic design, and web design is ne of my major classes, and also a skill I have to learn to become a digital artist. I am going to transfer to a different university next year and this is a really good practice for me to make my own portfolio and introduction website.

I'm a very active thinker, but a lot of the time my thoughts are hard to put into words precisely. But when I am designing, I can put all my emotions and thoughts into my artworks. So, for me, every piece of artwork is unique and rich in emotions. We can understand a person through design, and we can communicate with people through design.

In creating this name card website. I want to show everyone who I am and what I love. I hope that any one who sees it can easily tell that I love our environment, love animals that are living around us.

I tried my hardest learning website coding techniques to achieve the effect I want, and I will do my best to complete this course and learn more about web design!

When designing this web page, the first thing I want to show to people is my love to nature and exploration. Therefore I chose a photo that I took inside a conservatory and pair it with a quote I came up that really reflects my feeling towards the nature as the top section.

I mainly chose 3-4 light colors like light green, light yellow, light gray to create this site to match the main point of being close to nature.

Then I start to think about the tags that would categorize and identify myself and make it easy for people to understand. I used the size of shape to convey the priority.

I subdivided the content into sections because they are pretty different from each other. And created a navigation bar that helps people go switch around.
