What assignment is this?

For this weeks assignment, we had to pick a high school logo that wasn't too pretty and take inspiration from another source to make it better. Then eventually make a homepage about it! I originally started out with Shawnee Mission South, then changed to just the Shawnee Mission School District site. I picked it because it was basic colors I could experiment with and incorporate it in many ways. I took after the Coldstone Creamery logo. I had a little over a week to do it. I started off really frustrated and took many different logos from restaurants and shops and recreated SMS logo into that, but wasn't thrilled with any of them. I eventually completely scratched everything and started over on both my high school logo and my store logo. I found that much easier and went through the rest of the project with ease. When it got to the website, I took a bootstrap template (which is super frustrating and I probably won't do it again even though it looks really cool).

What Did I Learn?

Original website

Along the way, I learned that you have to do a few drafts before getting to the final product. I got to have a refresh with Illustrator in this project too, which was really nice, especially since it's been a while since I've done a project with it. Specifically with this project I had a fear of the deadline. As it got closer and closer, I realized I had more to do then I realized, and add not knowing how to use bootstrap on top of that and it's just a mess. But in the end, it all turned out okay and I 'm happ

y with the way my site turned out (especially for my first bootstrap!). I will draw the experience used with bootstrap to create better websites in the future and knowing how to use those tools to enhance the project. Overall, I really liked this project and I would do it again for other websites.
