Here's my website

General
It's the final week of the semester, and my final project for Web Fundamentals - a 4-page hand-coded website - is more or less finished. I'm still tinkering with it here and there but this is, basically, what we're gonna be presenting. It's basically a mini portfolio of some of my recent, creative works. I figured it'd set mine apart from the other students, who will largely be using the content we made for earlier assignments, assembled into a final product.

Content wise, there's not much here you wouldn't have seen before, although there is a very cute re-color of a Zane drawing in there I've yet to post here on FA because I wanted to finish his new bio first. Like anyone cares.
Something funny happened while I was making this - the assignment from 2 weeks ago was to make a 'first draft' and a logo. But she didn't specify what constitutes a 'first draft' so to be safe, I...basically just made the whole thing then and there. So she gave me full points for the entire project, and told me I could ignore the feature-checklist. "I checked your code and it looks great so I'll just grade your final now!" Which is nice because my code wasn't actually perfect and she missed a few things but, whatever. I think she was just dazzled that I had been that proactive with it.
Since then, just for vanity reasons, I've made a few small improvements, including utilizing media queries to make it more responsive. This is most noticeable in that the hero image disappears when viewing it on smaller viewports, such as that of a tablet or smartphone. The "animations" page isn't as responsive as it could stand to be on mobile settings but it's like I always say - mobile browsing sucks. And if somebody tells you "your website isn't optimized for mobile" you just tell them "I know - that's why it looks good."
I could also stand to update the logo but I made that super hastily. As such it, and frankly the nav bar, look very 1998. But hey, whatever, she wanted a logo, I didn't wanna use some creative commons image, so I slapped one together so I could get moving on a final project I, frankly, barely had time for.
So...that's the website.
No I am NOT looking for weird nerds to give me unsolicited advice, thank you. I'm still in school. I'll get better.

But in a good way. Like, it gives me the vibe and the style, but doesn't portray a lack of skill or effort.
