RESEARCH
1. Website Research:

Fig 3.3.1: Kingdom Palace Restaurant Website

-What I have gained from this website:
i) The idea of using Chinese calligraphy
ii) The color scheme
iii) Instead of using icon, I can try to use both English & Chinese
*Might reconsider using Chinese after consultation, update & final ver will be update in future blog
iv) For the mobile version, put all navigation button into a section 
v) Visual Reference

Fig 3.3.2: Restaurant Website

-What I have gained from this website:
i) Having a popular dishes section in landing page/Adding it in the "Menu" page
ii) For the mobile version, put all navigation button into a section 

SUBMISSION


4. FEEDBACK
After consultation for the proposal:
1. Putting a non english font might be complicated, but sir will teach it in the future tutorial class. 
2. If the content isn't enough (In my case the website doesn't have a "About us" paragraph) you can always add on to it, write it yourself.



5. REFLECTION
Honestly, coding is a subject I am quite scared of (I know it is complicated and my brain is going to be on FIRE). At first, I am a bit overwhelmed as I am learning a brand new subject but after one tutorial class I was quite ok surprisingly but I know I haven't learn the hardest part, so let see whether coding will be my new favorite?! 

On Week 5 physical class, we get to do a exercise about HTML coding, and I already make a mistake at the beginning TT..... I am used to put "space" after typing a word, and I done it in coding too (Of course unintentionally) and my code didn't work. The journey of finding the error start, coding is full of letters so it need to be super careful otherwise my eyes will suffer so much. Thank you sir for helping me find the error, I will remember this mistake until I graduated or the rest of my life...

I am quite excited to recreate a website, as I didn't make a website before. Finding all of these mood board is quite a fun process, a lot of idea pop out. But the most important thing is whether I can make it using my limited coding ability, we will see we will see.
