A - Climate Crisis
'A' is a zine created to show and inform the reader about the effects of climate change through the use of illustrations, text, and symbolism.
For this project, I researched symbolism, myths, and facts about snakes to convey my ideas for this zine.
The snake is often used as both a symbol of healing and death, which, paired with the neat blue and white illustrations and the messy red and black sketches, visually conveys what I wanted to express to the viewer.
To ensure I had an easy to view colour palette I put my palette into adobe colour to check if it would be user friendly.
For this first iteration of my portfolio, I used mostly pinks and included the Kanji for my name as my logo. However, I felt this didn't represent me as I intended, so I coded another website using this code as a base.
While I felt this website better suited me, I noticed I was only using blues in my design, with no pinks at all.
So, I decided to create this portfolio that you are currently viewing. Instead of coding it myself, I chose to apply the ideas I had learned from this project, along with a similar colour palette, to craft something I felt would better represent me.
I simplified the colour palette, retaining the colours I like and making them much brighter and more prominent.
While the coding is useful and interesting - having previously done this in a computer science class - using only CSS and HTML for a portfolio can be challenging, especially when aiming to include special animations and user interactions.
