REFLECTION

I found this assignment extremely enjoyable, primarily fueled by my admiration for the paintings of a particular artist. I just love the characters, art style, and colour palette in his works. Without hesitation, I chose to create a website dedicated to this painter.

I realized that creating a desktop website is relatively straightforward, but things get challenging when it comes to making it responsive. I spent more time on the responsive part, encountering many puzzling aspects. There were moments when the code seemed flawless to me, yet the outcome wasn't as expected. In the end, I put in my best effort to achieve the best possible results, leaving a few unsatisfactory elements unaddressed due to time constraints. If I have the opportunity in the future, I plan to self-learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to refine and solve the existing issues.
