1. website name and context:

   • Websites name: "All about me"
     • the websites name showcases the central purpose behind this website: Forming connections with like minded people online by sharing information about yourself and having access to their information online.
   • Purpose of the website:Allows teens under the age of 16 to use an online platform which mimics a safer version of social media platforms,

2. Aesthetic:

   • Images and videos:
     • underneath the section of hi in the website the user is required to insert an image of something that describes them.
     • Underneath the section where the user inserts the image of something which describes them, the website finds some videos of things which may be of interest to the user, below that the user has the option to search for more vids that may align with their interests through YouTube.
     • Below that section theirs a feature called hobbies it monitors the type of videos the user watches and tries giving them similar videos to watch because it’d be make it more effortless and easier for the user if they’re instantly given videos which align with their interests rather than having to search for them.
   • Colour:
     • The colour of the websites background is white
     • Below that where the users supposed to write information about themselves the font colour is both black and red- stands out from the background as they’re dark shades of colour and the backgrounds white.
     • The subheadings used to label the features within the website have a purple font which also stands out from the white background as this is a sudden change in the type of font colours I previously used. This colour was used to help the user differentiate between the aspects within the website.
   • Shapes:
     • both the pictures and videos within the homepage of the website have a rectangular frame because having a rectangular frame ensures that all the space within the pages of my website are almost completely used up if the picture and video had a triangular or a circular frame, it’d only use up the space within the centre of my websites pages and there would be large, apparent gaps on the side of the website.
