website: creating my bio
During today's class we concentrated on creating a bio for an "about me" page on our websites.
Before I write my bio I need to answer 4 main questions. I tend to write long, run-on sentences, and that is definitely not something to do in my bio. I need to make things short and clear, therefore it is easy to understand.
The first question is: Who are you?
I am a 19 year old artist from Poland, currently studying Art & Design in Leicester, England.
How did I get to be who I am?
Most of my life, I lived in a city in Poland, however I have also lived in a rural area in the United States. That is where I found more time and inspiration to work on my art. Time spent surrounded by sunflowers and wheat fields was a life-changing experience for me.
What am I doing now?
Now I am working on developing my art skills at De Montfort University International College.
What is your future?
In the next year I am going to study animation at university and develop my abilities even more. I am planning on becoming a great animator and making movies and cartoons that will touch people's hearts.
After planning my bio out, I changed all the form to the third person singular, therefore instead of using "I" or "my" I would use "she" or "her". Then I pasted my bio into the "about me" tab on my wix website.
I used the Raleway font, size 14. I think this font is very clear and looks fresh and modern.
Next thing I did was to justify the text. I really do not like when the text is in the center align or the left align. I think everything looks more professional when the text is justified.
After finishing this part, I have put a picture of myself next to the text. I decided to pick a picture in color, because here the background is very calm.
I decided to use this picture, because not only it is professionally taken, but also looks vibrant and positive.
Generally, I am very pleased with the outcome, I am aware I still have a lot to work on with customizing my website, but I think this is a good start.
Very good work, well written and clear - well done
