Feedback
Finally I had finished my website, troubleshot all of the problems and now I wanted to go to all of the websites I had joined to get feedback.
Most of the feedback I got was good so I was very pleased, the ones that weren't that good were even more helpful as they pointed to things I could change such as the font on the profile page, many people thought was too decorative so I changed that to a simpler font, they also thought that I should make the home page graphic larger which I did as well.
Conclusion
Overall this unit has taught me a lot of skills and software that I had little or no knowledge of before such as AfterEffects, iWeb and WebEasy, I really enjoyed using the AfterEffects software and will be incorporating it more into my future work. I'm very pleased with the finished work and can add more to the website as I complete more work.

Final changes
After some advice from my tutors, I removed the showreel page and merged the profile page with the contact page on my website, although reluctant at first as the site was almost done, I think these changes greatly improved the site. The changes also meant there was now room on the website to showcase the graphic novel. I also added the comic version of my graphic novel on the website as I thought this a good example of my work.
Finally I also changed the size of my gallery images and added an easier page navigation.
