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 16 - Take Cover

Today I practiced with patterns.

When I was creating the background/rain, I was creating and moving each vertical line one by one. The worst part was to make sure that it was the same number of pixels between each line. 20 minutes in and having only 10 lines finished, I thought to myself: "There must be an easier way to do this." So I started researching all the different buttons on Sketch, then I bumped into Distribute Horizontally and Vertically. Thank goodness for that encounter. It saved me so much more time.

I also played around with shades and colour today. For this design, I think I like it simple.
