What did you create?

For my personal project, I created a professional website aimed at presenting consumers with the opportunity to express themselves through traditional Chinese furnishings.

Why did you create this?

I chose to create and design a website for my personal project as I enjoy creating work based around design and visual arts, coming into this project however I had very little experience concerning the medium I worked with, which challenged me to take the knowledge and experience I have gained over the past years to create something I never would have considered.

What were the biggest challenges you faced?

I struggled to manage my time all throughout the project, on one hand the software I had chosen to create the website posed multiple time consuming problems, additionally the required balance between my school work and the personal project timeline was hard to meet successfully.

What advice would you give to next year’s PP students?

Choose a project that adheres to your likes and interests but one that will also challenge you to advance your skills. The project is long and can be difficult at times, so make sure you plan your time out wisely, keeping up with both project work and school work. But most importantly enjoy it and let it be an opportunity for you to try something you have always wanted to.
