"Its Alive!": The Creation of This Blog

I choose to learn a Javascript framework after completing my degree in University College Cork. I had previously learned React.js and React Native as apart of a previous side project to learn how to make a hybrid app for iOS and Android last year. For this reason I learned Next.js to build on this experience and to learn a state of the art framework that is used in industry currently.

The foundation of this website is built through the offical Next.js tutorial. The tutorial walks through how to use many of Next.js's features by constructing a blog! On the completion of this tutorial the blog needed a style.

Neubrutalism is an upcoming web design trend, which inserts fun into traditional brutal design. The bright colours and constrasting colours are much more interesting to myself, than traditional minimalist style of the web design I have grown up mimicking. I was inspired by Sepideh Yazdi's article published in Bootcamp, How can I design in the Neo Brutalism style?.

The purpose of this blog is to document my side projects to encourage myself to complete them. This website will likely expand and become more complex as the blog continues. I thank you for reading and hope you enjoy this project!
