LIGHT & SPACE

In my MMI school, yep, that's what we call it, we have these things called SAEs. Think of them as sort of semi-pro simulations where we've gotta pull off a project (like a website, for instance) on a given theme.

And this time, the theme was art. Totally random, we got assigned an art movement and had to put together an exhibition with artists and their works. I got LIGHT & SPACE. And honestly, it was a pretty cool theme.

I wanted to have some fun with colors, space. Basically, I just played around with art. And here's what came out of it!

The Development

Alright, when it comes to the concept, I think you've got the idea. Let's dive a bit more into the development side of things. So, this SAE was split into two parts. First off, we put our HTML/CSS and JSON skills to the test. Pretty amazing, right? Well, back then, we only made a mobile version.

Then, we got into VUEJS. Pretty slick, huh? Anyway, at that point, we had to make the site responsive, have a fully functional PC version, and on top of all that, connect it to a database (Pocketbase) and even host it on our own VPS!

So yeah, I really dug this challenge. It threw us into a real development context, as if this site was actually meant to promote a real exhibition. And let me tell you, that's pretty satisfying!
