 The first term is coming to an end. What experience did I gain on the Digital Art cource? I learned how to create a website, run my own blog, use programs such as Photo Editor, Lucidpress, Melanote and many others. What did I thinking and feeling? I am glad that I found myself in a DMUIC team of such wonderful people, and I have the opportunity to learn something new. What was good and bad about the experience? A lot of homework, sometimes I didn't have time to do everything and fell asleep late. On the one hand, this is an overload, and on the other hand, I learned how to manage the time of work at the computer, give myself breaks and be more efficient. What else can I make of the situation?Blogging more professionally and making website more creative. What else could I have done? Continue to develop study skills step by step. If it rose again what would I do? Heard the details that I missed the first time.

 I added a new page to the website called feedback. So that site visitors rate the home page, navigation and leave their comments on what they like and what needs to be improved. This is how the page looks like. From this feedback I can see that my website is works technically good and the readers like the design.

  My initial ideas for the website were a media studio style, photographer template with soft light colors.  I researched sites like Printworkslondon, Westminster Live and Magazine London website, and on my site I made four pages Home, About me, Portfolio  and Contact.  The purpose of my website is to show what I learned on the Digital Art course during the first term and to lay out my major project.  Potential users of the website are my classmates and tutor.  In the world of modern technology, it is important to have a website with a digital portfolio, because it is easier and faster to declare yourself to the world.  On my page there is a social network icon "Blogger", the site has navigation and therefore it is easy to navigate, the contact page works where you can send me a message that comes to my email.

I took a several photos for About Me page. Help me choose 1, 2 or 3?  

  Film Review Life Itself What is life?  Who can to say how does it start, where will it takes us, when will it finish? These are the types of questions human race has pondered since the initial stage. And these are the types of questions that are consider in  Life Itself .  This is a narrative of generations. It is the story of Abby and Will; of Javier, Isabel and Mr. Saccione; of Dylan and Rodrigo. It is the story of how apparently unconnected incidents and locations are related on deep levels. How tragedy and love are basically interwoven. However life writes episodes and scenes that we could never foresee—and that we would never want to represent.  It is a dramatic story which says if we keep on to push   through tragedy and despond, in the end, if we go far enough, we will find love.
