INSTRUCTIONS

For this project, we were required to choose a topic for our landing page. Thus, I chose to create a website for a tofu shop. 

Gathering Inspiration

Before sketching, I decided to look at some websites to get some idea of what landing pages looks like for food. I decided to look at vegan Malaysian websites.

Sketching

Next, I started sketching. For this, I used Procreate.

Creating Prototype

After receiving feedback from Mr Shamsul to recreate the Lo Sam website, I decided to work on my Prototype. I chose Sketch #1 as I thought it was the best. 

Firstly, I obtained some things for my website such as images and content. 

1. Logo

Figure 1.3.1 Logo

I decided to create the above logo as I wanted the Lo Sam logo to match the vibe I was going for with the website. Similar to the current Lo Sam logo, I made L S the main focus, but added "Lo Sam" for easy understanding. 

2. Creating the Website

Then, I created the website. Below was the prototype I was fully satisfied with.

This version is Version 2, where I followed Mr Shamsul's advise to align things, remove borders and fill up the empty spaces better. 

Now, I will share my sources:

REFLECTION

I really enjoyed this project. It provided me a sense of how to design a landing page. I have no idea how I'll be when I need to actually code this, but I am glad to have created a landing page which I will enjoy looking at as it features my passion; soy products. 

At first, I was a bit lost, but thanks to an infinite amount of references, I was able to learn some pretty insightful things about the look of a landing page. This will definitely help me in the future if I ever want to create my own portfolio website to showcase my works.
