Nadia’s Reflections

It’s been a fun experience to share the website with my team and get their input and feelings on each page. Each one of the team brings a fresh perspective from the cemetery they are researching on the project and to see all of it come together onto our data and slowly reflecting on the website has been so rewarding. Last week, I have spent so much time working on website responsiveness. Iusually have this bad habit of leaving the mobile responsiveness till the end thinking “I will get to it later” and then running out of time and never getting to it 🙂 This always leaves a sense of incompleteness to the project. So for our Mapping Cemeteries project, I have been determined to work on the mobile and larger screen content simultaneously, which has been working well. I have been testing the website on smaller and bigger screens and changing the look of the cards and timelines to be accessible on mobile. I implemented the resizing of the horizontal timeline when the screen is resized, I also changed the sizes of the text and buttons on smaller screens and changed the way the vertical timeline looks on mobile phones so it does not look too crowded. This has been a fun learning experience for me, using a combination of tools I have used before and some I have not.

I have also really enjoyed all of our meeting discussions. We address so many things that come up in our research, data collection methods, design ideas and everything in between. Lane and Asma’s work on Social Media was a highlight in the past two weeks, it has made all of us even more excited about the future of the project and its purpose.
