Welcome to Arielle's website!

Thank you for visiting my website. I am a third-year Advertising major, Fashion-Merchandising minor, and am in the New Media certificate! I'm from Boston, and enjoy listening to music and hanging out with friends!

• Stylesheet example
• Project One
• Project One Reflection: I had a lot of fun reminicising about my time in Paris. I will admit, this project was more difficult than I anticipated, however, I learned so much and developed my coding skills. I had fun crafting together the layout and choosing fonts and colors.
• Bootstrap Playground
• Grid Test
• Media Test
• Bootstrap Exercise
• Project Two
• Project Two Reflection: I had so much fun creating these panels! I love Taylor Swift, so being able to do a project where I could rank each album was so fun. I enjoyed navigating bootstrap and finding a template I liked. One hard thing was trying to customize it was hard because I didn't organize the CSS file. I didn't know where certain things were so I got confused. I'm proud of how I was able to customize the stars and add links to outside sources. Overall, I learned a lot and feel confident in making another website like this again!
• Wordpress Commerce
• Wordpress Content
• Wordpress Reflection I had a lot of fun working with Wordpress. I definetly like it better than bootstrap because I feel like it is easier to navigate, however I did have some difficulty. When it came to customizing themes, both for Botiga and Minimalistix, I was often confused about whether I edit the home page on the home page dashboard (if that makes sense) or if I edit it on the actual website customization setting. I also initially struggled with the layout of the sites, and trying to make it make sense for what I want to communicate, but I think that turned out pretty good. I'm especially proud of how I learned how to use WooCommerce for the commerce website. I have aspirations of being an entrepreneur, so learning how to build my own website and add products is definetly knowledge that I needed to know. I'm also very happy about how my content site turned out. I customized the css to include a lot of pink since my site is about romantic comedies, so I wanted to have colors that resembled that. I also like how I used different types of blocks to satisfy the vibe of the website. I feel like for both sites I included things that if I actually had a business or a blog, I think would be valuable to have, like the customer testimonials page on the commerce site and the links to trailers on the content site. I think its important to include important and essential information, and sometimes the important information on sites that make it a seamless user experience gets lost when trying to satisfy the essentials. That is something I learned and will take with me in the future when building websites.
• Java Script Calculator
• Java Script Rocket Ship
• Java Script Jukebox
• Arielle Dumalac Portfolio/Dossier
• Portfolio/Dossier Reflection: I enjoyed makig this portfolio/dossier and displaying my work from the semester on an actual website that I can share with employers was really satisfying. A struggle I had was picking out a theme that worked with what I was trying to do. In class I asked for help because some themes would not let me delete feautures photos or change fonts, which was really frustrating. Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out and I look forward to continue updating this over the course of my college and professional career.
• Final Project
• Final Project Reflection I had a great time creating a new and improved interior design website for my mom. She wants to get back into interior design when my brother graduates high school next year, so I had fun improving her outdated site with her top 3 favorite projects she has done over the years. It was nice to work so closely with my mom on this project and making sure her vision comes to life. I look forward to helping her maintain this website in the future. A struggle I faced was making sure the photos were all a good size where they were not blurry but still easy to look at. For example, on the Beacon Street post, those photos are more than 20 years old, so I had to edit and enhance them to make sure they were good quality photos for today's standards. All in all, I did enjoy making this website for my mom, and I know she is super excited to start using it!
