Objective

Identify an issue of personal importance and develop a web based solution bringing awareness to the issue.  

Overview

Healing Veterans was inspired by my own experiences dealing with injury during my time in service. For this project, I had the advantage of bringing firsthand insight of injury and the healing process to my own research and project development. 

 

More often than not, injuries and ailments are treated with a number of prescription drugs. After recovery, service-members and veterans often face issues of prescription dependencies, many of which have detrimental side effects. 

 

The website I developed ultimately focused on veterans and explored the idea of having medical marijuana be a treatment option, opposed to habitual prescriptions. The site also identified specific ailments that benefited the most from medical marijuana treatments. Lastly, examples of  various cultures using marijuana medicinally  was highlighted. The historical research helped influenced the layout and visuals of my site. Mimicking the idea of historical timelines, I designed the site to function by horizontal scrolling and utilized older imagery assets to give a dated feel.   

 

Being one of my earliest experiences with developing websites, this project served as a great introduction to using HTML & CSS.
