 https://finnbreslin14.wixsite.com/my-site My website is a clothing brand for both male and females. My website also includes sports wear such as football shirts and shorts etc.  The things i had to do to create my website is I had to find the correct template that showed an example of a piece of clothing for women and men. Preferable, I had to find a template to show off the newest shirt design so the people visiting would now some examples of what type of clothing we would sell, then  had to find the correct images and sizes to fit inside the box provided from the template. I also had to change all of the text to fit the description of the images used. I am pleased with the 'about' section of my website as i think it well describes my website and what it provides along side it. I would change how thorough I am with the designs used and the amount of designs because some images on the home page doesn't show a wide variety of clothes in the website.

 Tuesday 25th April 2023 News day evaluation LO: to evaluate and review our News Day project. Evaluation: The story we made was About the protests happening on whipsiderry beach and whats going on with the cliffs. The bit i enjoyed the most was making the words for the report. I enjoyed it because i was able to work wih my friends on what we should say about the protests. The bit  enjoyed the least was the editing part of the report, the reason i didnt enjoyed the editing was because i dont really enjoy editing and i was getting confused with some of it. The skills i learned and developed were probably my editing and making scripts for the reader to say. The things i learned about the news process was probably what thy have to do to actually put the news out into the public, mainly the editing and the recording process. If i were to do it again i would probably make the script a little less short, this is because i fell as though that the script was a bit long to read. Unfortu...
