Abstract

Forever Young is a website that presents videos and photographs focusing on nail art and make-up. Liang Zhao, the designer of the website, is a graduate student in Valparaiso University Digital Media program. Liang is enthusiastic about nail art. Her designs of nail painting will be showed on the website while being combined with different styles of make-up. The website is built based on Liang’s personal preference of fashion and the professional principles of web design.

Liang’s designs of nail painting are inspired by many practical Chinese nail artists. And based on her personal experience, Liang will show the viewers a lot of different styles of nail painting that can be duplicated by anyone at home. The viewers of Forever Young will be allowed to navigate through different categories of fashion collocation that emphasizes nail art and make-up. The make-up tutorials are imported from Ruotao Li, a former graduate digital media student who is enthusiastic about fashion collocation.

Forever Young will eventually be a comprehensive online community where personalized videos and photographs are shared when the viewers are allowed to communicate freely on either the site or other social media platforms.
