Website improvement
Description
For this website, I wanted to create a personal, melancholic corner where gamers can reflect on the sad moments of the Halo franchise. I decided to focus on the story of Halo, starting from the beginning—before Master Chief, the main character—up until the latest game. I cover the saddest deaths from the series, specifically those of characters who left a lasting impact on us
Feedback
The feedback was quick, short, and simple. The background cover was the best part of the entire initial website. Recreating a website from scratch would take a lot of time, though.
Changes
I basically created a whole new website. Now that I have more knowledge and tools, I can create a different website—one that's closer to what I originally envisioned. I changed the navbar and added sections for each character. I also incorporated animations that activate as the reader scrolls, while ensuring the website is fully responsive.

Description
For this project, we were asked to create some graphics for a tetra pack juice box. Basically we had to choose from the graphics for the fruits, to the background and the font. Initially there were some names for the project, but I decided to pitch in my idea to call my project Jump-In Juice. Which I am happy it was accepted. The main idea behind the name was to create some fruits free falling.
Feedback
This is the feedback I received: The fruits could be more appealing or fun—try adding extremities to make them feel like they’re actually falling. Keeping the background is a good idea, but consider tweaking it so the clouds don’t look just painted—after all, no two clouds are the same.
The font is too bubbly; maybe try something simpler but still eye-catching. Also, consider avoiding the arc in the text, as it makes it harder to read.
Changes
I mainly changed the look of the fruits, the background, and the font. I wanted to give the fruits a more cartoonish style, so I added arms and legs, changed their glasses, and tweaked their expressions. I was inspired by Cuphead when creating this new version of Jump-In Juice. Looking back, my original idea wasn't bad, but it felt a bit too simple and lazy.
For the background, I stuck with the cloud idea—since, after all, these are fruits falling from the sky. As for the font, I originally wanted something that would attract kids, but I realized they probably don't even pay much attention to the text. They're more into fun, wacky graphics and silly fruit characters. So, instead of the bubbly font I started with, I went for something simpler but still eye-catching.
