EXERCISE

 Exercise 3: (Personal CV Page)

             For our third exercise, Mr Shamsul tasked us in designing and building a personal CV 
             page using basic HTML and CSS. This exercise will help us organise information into 
             sections, practice styling text and create a clean, professional-looking page layout. 

             Instructions:
               - Add your name as the main header at the top of the page.
               - Write a short paragraph describing yourself, your interests, and any hobbies.
               - List your most recent education details. Include the institution name, year, and 
                  course or program.
               - Create a bulleted list of at least five skills you have (these could be related to 
                  school, hobbies, or any other talents).
               - Add a simple contact section with an email address and a link to any social media 
                  profile (optional). 
               - Use different font sizes and weights to make sections and headers stand out.
               - Choose a basic color scheme for the text and background. Use colors that are easy 
                  to read and look professional.
               - Add padding and margins around each section to give your CV a clean, organized 
                  layout.
               - Use borders or horizontal lines to separate sections for a professional touch.
               - Add an image or profile picture at the top.
               - Style your CV with a unique font and background color or pattern to reflect your 
                  personality.
               - Create a folder for the task and include subfolder (images) and the HTML file in 
                  the folder.
               - Create a single HTML file for the content. Name the file as index.html
               - Add the CSS rule within the head section
               - Upload the folder to Netlify (I will show it in class)
               - Embed the link into your blog and submit the post in Google Classroom

             Before starting my CV, I went to look for inspiration on other CVs on Pinterest. The 
             main inspiration for my own CV are taken mainly from these two. 

Figure 1.1 CV Inspiration

             I wanted to recreate the dotted background and the gradient for my own CV. 

Figure 1.2 Code for Dotted BG & Pink Gradient

             I didn't want to just put the images for the adobe icons for technical skills, so I 
             challenged myself to make 4 rounded squares for each of the app (Ps, Pr, Ae & Ai).

Figure 1.4 Outcome

             I wanted the icons to have 2 on each row but no matter what I did, it came out like this 
             so eventually I just left it. 

             To make my image match the colour scheme of my CV, I went to Photoshop to edit it, 
             Ito make it have the same pink colour overlay on the now grayscale image of myself.

             Fonts Used:
             - My name : Playfair Display
             - Headers : Abril Facetats
             - Body : Inter

             I wanted to have a favicon like every website for my submission, so I watched a 
             Youtube video on it.

             I first went on Google to find a PNG of what I wanted as my favicon, Then going onto 
             favicon generator.net, to make the PNG into a favicon and putting it into my images 
             folder.
