Sketch

I sketched it at first, but I got feedback to understand the Key Principles of Usability more simply and easier for the user to understand.

So, there are five key principles of Usability
1. Consistency
2. Simplicity
3. Visibility
4. Feedback
5. Error Prevention 
I made a second sketch with more consideration about this.

Personally, I want the artist's photo to be the background photo, and through feedback, I changed it to a more comfortable layout for people to see.

Final result

I organized the content into separate sections based on the key requirements of the project. The header came with a concise introduction to Jungkook and a short tagline containing his signature word, Golden. The introduction section took a closer look at his background and why he is a source of inspiration. The discography provides an introduction and link to his first single album and also allows you to view the music video. The gallery contains photos related to his solo album. Lastly, we included contact information and links to social media profiles to ensure a seamless connection between the audience and the artist.

REFLECTION


Experience: Undertaking the task of creating a single-page website dedicated to my favorite artist has been a rewarding journey in honing my web design and development skills. The chosen artist for this project was Jungkook from BTS, a musician whose artistry has greatly influenced me.
Selecting Jungkook as the focal point of the website was a natural choice given my genuine admiration for his musical talent and artistic expression. This passion played a crucial role in fueling my dedication to creating a website that not only showcases his work but also reflects the essence of his artistry.
The project not only allowed me to showcase my passion for his artistry but also served as a practical exercise in translating admiration into a digital medium. The process involved a deep exploration of content organization, design elements, and interactive features.

Observation: Selecting an appropriate color scheme and fonts played a crucial role in reflecting both Jungkook's style and my personal taste. The visual layout aimed for balance, employing a harmonious blend of text and multimedia elements. The challenge of creating a responsive design that adapts to various screen sizes was met by implementing a mobile-friendly approach, ensuring a consistent and enjoyable user experience across devices.
To enhance user experience, smooth scrolling navigation was implemented, allowing users to seamlessly traverse different sections of the webpage. Interactive elements such as image sliders, hover effects, and lightboxes were strategically incorporated to elevate the engagement level. These features not only served a functional purpose but also added a layer of dynamism, aligning with the vibrant energy of Jungkook's artistic persona.


Findings: The project's findings were multi-faceted. Firstly, the importance of genuine passion for the chosen artist became evident, as it fueled dedication and attention to detail. In terms of design, the realization of a responsive layout underscored the significance of adaptability across various screen sizes for a seamless user experience. The incorporation of interactive elements, such as image sliders and hover effects, not only added aesthetic appeal but also contributed to user engagement.
This project served as a practical exercise in translating admiration for an artist into a digital space. It deepened my understanding of the intricate relationship between content, design elements, and user experience. Navigating the challenges of creating a cohesive and visually appealing website reinforced the importance of meticulous planning, design choices, and attention to detail.

In conclusion, the web design project has been a valuable opportunity to merge passion with skill development. It has significantly contributed to my growth in the realm of web design, fostering a greater appreciation for the intersection of technology and artistic expression.
