Brief Report
- The first website
This site replicates your supermarket shopping experience in an online store. The 3D visual effect makes you feel like you are there. FPP's shopping aisle mimics a real shopping experience, as it allows you to virtually stroll through the store and find pineapples by scrolling your mouse.
Use the copy to direct you to the shopping area and look for pineapples in the powder aisle. Shopping marketing agency FPP tells visual stories of missing products and abandoned shopping carts among hundreds of products.

You can choose your favorite chocolate bar flavor by sliding the mouse to open its wrapping paper. In this way, you can learn more about the information of the chocolate bar flavor, such as the raw material, the origin of the raw material and the nutritional content. Targeted screening of the target group of information can help readers to read information efficiently.
Week 2 | Exercise 2
Your task is to replicate TWO (2) existing websites given in the link below to gain a better understanding of their structure. Choose any two from the link given. Follow the dimension of the existing website from the width and height. This exercise will help you develop your design skills using software such as Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, and gain insights into web design best practices. You can use any image from stock image or free stock icon. The image that you will be using does not have to be an exact image. You may replace it with a similar image. Focus on the layout, type style, and color style. To find similar typefaces/fonts, you can download fonts from Google Fonts.
First of all, I selected two of the five websites provided by the teacher as the websites for this exercise. Then, I took a screenshot of the website and made it with Photoshop (ps) using the method taught by the teacher in class

Exercise 4 / CSS Layout
We are required to create a responsive grid layout for a website, based on the provided content (text and images).
