100 Day Design Challenge

I officially began on February 26, 2017 and completed the design challenge on June 5, 2017. I began with little to no design knowledge, and my goal was to become familiar and quicker with design tools and see how much I've improved from Day 1 all the way to Day 100.

The most valuable lesson I’ve learned in the past 100 days was that designing wasn’t just simply placing nice colours and shapes onto a page. It’s really about solving the greater user experience problem, to provide a seamless, problem-free experience for all users, whether it be within an app or a website.

Day 12 - There's Always Room

With yesterday's result, I wasn't confident about going into today's design.

I gained my confidence after designing the cream. Using the techniques I learned about shading from way back when, such as reflective light, I was able to create some depth. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than I thought it was going to be. As I added the chocolate at the back, it was taking a lot longer than I thought. But this time, I didn't mind. It was because I was able to use the tools correctly. When I was using the Mask tool today, I knew what I was expecting before clicking on it. As for the previous designs, I would continuously guess and hope for the best that the "Mask" was what I wanted it to be.
