Work in Dreamwaver
HTML
In the HTML code, I have included a link to the Font Awesome stylesheet to utilize its icons for a visually appealing design.
HOME SECTION
In the home section, I used the XUEZHIQIAN picture as the background and add the navigation(home, about, gallery, biography and contact) on the right top. The Logo is on the left top. Then, I used 薛之谦(artist's name) as main and his motto as second.
About section
In the about section, I present information about Joker Xue, a Chinese singer-songwriter, including his image and a brief biography to give visitors insights into his artistic journey.
Gallery Section
In the gallery section, I showcase a series of images capturing moments from Joker Xue's concerts and album covers, offering a visual glimpse into his career.
I use the expand cards to show the mages capturing moments from Joker Xue's concerts.
For the albums ,the cover will zoom when the mouse click it.
Biography Section
In the biography section, I provide a detailed timeline of Joker Xue's career, highlighting key milestones and album releases to offer a comprehensive overview of his musical journey.

Fig 15
In the global styles of the CSS, I set universal attributes like padding, margin, and font families to maintain consistency across the entire webpage.
In the header styles, I focus on the presentation of the header section, specifying background images and size for a visually striking introduction to the webpage.
For the styles in about section and biography section is the same layout and adjustment but the biography section is more different than about section.
In the gallery styles, I focus on the expand card effect because it is a little bit difficult to set it up and also the zoom out effect in album covers. For the text I adjusted the font size, margin, padding and more to make them in normal view, also in image adjustment too.

In the media queries, I ensure a responsive design for various screen sizes, adjusting layout and font sizes to optimize the viewing experience on different devices.
In the overall design, I aim to create a webpage that not only provides information about Joker Xue but also offers an aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly environment for visitors to explore.
This is the LINK to the page.

Experience
Creating the single web page for Joker Xue was a rewarding and insightful experience. The project allowed me to combine my HTML and CSS skills to craft a visually appealing and informative webpage dedicated to an influential Chinese singer-songwriter.
As I delved into the HTML structure, I carefully organized the content to ensure a logical flow from the header to the footer. The navigation bar, designed for easy access to different sections, contributed to a smooth and intuitive user experience. Integrating external libraries, such as Font Awesome for icons and Google Fonts for typography, added sophistication to the design.
Throughout the project, I paid attention to details in the CSS, from color schemes to font choices, to maintain a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design. Media queries were employed to ensure a responsive layout, optimizing the user experience on various devices.
