Week 2 - Exercise 2

for this week we are given exercise to replicate 2 websites from the 5 website that we do analysis from. however, most of my website cannot be taken full screen so I had to find another two website to replicate which is 

and

the result

fig.1.1. website and replicated comparison


the first step I do when doing the replication is to adjust the main layout, seperating the text, pictures and also other elements like the click button, etc. then I look for typeface that would look similar to it and actually I did website 2 first and then do nanny services.

for sergio penzo website, the one that I struggle the most is finding the suitable pictures and typeface. I also noticed that everytime I took screenshot of any website its either its not fully screenshot-ed because its too long or the fixed header is stuck in the middle so I had to take another screenshot of the header for reference.

for the nanny services website the one I struggled the most is the inconsistency of the fonts size and amount of graphic and pictures I had to put, its already hard to find symbols that are transparent, let alone making it from scratch. at the end I made the symbols from scratch except for their brand logo and "download" button.

REFLECTION

from this exercises, I learned to do a great analysis on websites and It has helped me in implementing thm when replicating and making new websites in the future. moreover, the second exercise has helped me get familiar with making websites layout and how each element would be displayed.
