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 14 - Intertwined

I thought this was going to be really hard, but I managed to get it.

At first, I wasn't sure how to create the overlapping, yet under, chain-like (whatever you call it) symbol. It seemed quite overwhelming at first, but I was able to take it apart and look at it as two rectangles - which definitely helped a lot more.

What I've learned today:

1. Step back and look at the bigger picture - Pictures are made of shapes and sizes, all we have to do is to see what kind of shapes make up the picture.

2. How to gradient style for two shapes
