For my website, I decided to make very minor changes since I already do enjoy the layout and theme already. I decided to change the background of the website to light purple. I feel as though it blends nicely and contrasts the whiteness of the center of the website. I also chose this color because it represents awareness for sexual assault and sexual violence, which goes along with my topic. Another thing I changed was putting the menu sections in the center rather than the left-hand side. This makes everything feel a lot more centered and easier to navigate. It’s…

Generations Erased. Families Displaced. Americas Disgrace. This is the Trail of Tears. A devastating point in American History. Around 100,000 Native Americans from the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Seminole, and other nations in the southeast, were forced out of their homes and forced to walk over 5,000 miles across 9 different states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. These six words not only provide a story, but also evoke true emotion of how devastating this event was to the Native American population in America. This image was chosen to show how many Native American men,…

While working on StoryMapJS and Google Maps, I noticed some key differences between the two that affect how the story of my topic is told. StoryMapJS felt more interactive and accessible. It was easy to look at the information that was presented while also looking at the general location for that slide. This is different to Google maps as it felt rough and hard to read the information. One thing that made Google maps really helpful was the satellite feature that gives users a closer look at the terrain and location of the points chosen. Another feature that Google maps…

While working on this timeline I noticed that the history about comfort stations and comfort women was very hard to find since many records weren’t kept in the Philippines. So, to supplement this I decided to really focus on the context and background of Japanese rule in the Philippines, all the way from how they got there to how they left. By doing this it expands the readers knowledge of WWII in the Philippines and how it affected the whole country. Making the decision of what makes the cut was very difficult because many of the dates tend to blend…

The image I chose was taken by Col. Dively Medics on April 16th, 1945, during World War II in Buchenwald Germany. The image shows survivors from the Buchenwald concentration camps laying in multi-tiered bunkers in a Nazi hospital ward after it was liberated. This is historically significant because it shows the conditions and treatment Jews faced in these concentration camps all throughout World War II. Seeing how sick and weak the newly freed prisoners in this image are, is proof of how terrible their treatment was. This image is labeled as public domain making it available for everyone to use…

While working on the Green Book website, my main focus was to make everything uniform and accessible. I wanted to make the information clean and easy to read while creating a general theme to bring the whole website together. That’s why I chose green for the background and details to specifically match the name of the Green Book. I chose specifically a gradient of green, so all the colors blend together and make it easy and assessable for users to see and read information. For my unordered list I decided to make it into a brand-new section called “Fun Facts!”…
