For my final iteration of this project, I had to overhaul a couple of things. The biggest thing was that I had to finish two entirely new pages and I had to set up a new way of organizing my gallery. It's now organized a bit more by content than it is by medium, which is more so what I'm going for. It definitely could still use some polishing, but I fully intend to continue to use this website, so any out of place quirks will be corrected at some point.
Most of the things I had to do were more tedious than anything. I implemented a Lightbox which took awhile just because once I got it working I had to add it to every single image. It was absolutely worth it, though. The biggest thing I still want to change is Project 2. It's kind of an ugly stain on the whole site. I need to get it in some divs, I need to remake all of the art, and I need to add navigation - all of which is currently impossible without me basically redoing a lot of the project. It'll just take some extra TLC.
I wasn't the most sure how to go about a resume, but I looked up some online examples. Perhaps I shouldn't have given it the same starry aesthetic as everything else, but it looked so strange and out of place without it. For now I'm keeping it thematically aligned. Although, I've never been one to feel ashamed of making mundane things colorful. I'll have to get some more information on acceptable resume producing. If it's not a good idea I'll probably convert this page into something else and link the resume in the form of a google doc or something.
I think it would also be cool for the "contact me" page to have a way to directly message me from the site, but it looks a lot more involved so I probably won't mess with it for now.
