introductiontohotglue

This is my original website which I made by using hotglue for the first time. At first I found it really difficult as I didn't know how to use hotglue but after I watched the "introduction to Hotglue" tutorial and started to play around with the buttons and see what each of them did.

I first chose a background picture from google. I decided to chose a colorful background picture which I thought it said something about my personality which is being a bubbly person. I then added a title to my home page and put a black text box around it with white writing in order for it to stand out and be easy to read. I used the same typography when making my buttons so that my homepage had a sense of continuity.

I also added a youtube video of cats compilation to show that I love cats. To do this I clicked on the background picture in order for the setting buttons to appear then copy the URL of the video I wanted to added into the "enable a youtube or vimeo video" button.I then three of my favorite songs of Soundcloud by coping the imbed code into a text box. Throughout my home page I wanted to make sure that my personality is coming through by my chosen the use of image, songs and video.

As the "enable a youtube or viemo video" function was really easy to use I decided to have a tutorials page as my website target audience is women.

I uploaded four makeup tutorial videos and the typography chosen was the same as the one in my home page except for the titles where I made them look a bit more feminine by having a curly design. I chose the background image based on my target audience. This is why I have a plain white background with a pair of red lips as it is a representation of the female gender.

I find that the simple lay out works really well as it is easy to read and I learned that less is more.

My website is a lifestyle theme based website this is why I decided to have a page with places ideas that my users can potentially visit. I added some images found on google and uploaded them by using the 'upload a file' function.

I tried something new that I haven't done before and added a twitter page called Earth Pics, which shows different images from around the world.

To do this I went on the actual Twitter page and in settings I created a widget then copied the HTML code into a text box. This is a life page which keeps updating so the users of my website can see all the latest images that Earth Pics are posting.

For my Fashion page I changed the typography as I felt that the typography used in my previous pages was making my Fashion page to cluttered. I added two youtube videos on Fashion Police as it goes with the theme of my page.

I decided to add an actual Fashion blog on my page to allow my users to read all the latest news about fashion. To do this I copied the URL of the fashion blog then paste it in a text box.

I found it difficult to place the fashion blog on my page as it has got a long length and my users would have to scroll through to get to the information they wanted.
