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 2 - Heyo!

Today I added a bit of a character to this potato head.

Not a big fan of what came out of it. From this, I realized I still need a ton practice, but I like where I'm going with this. I'm still in the realms of a steep learning curve right now, so my ability to perfect the black lines was a struggle. After creating the not-so-perfect expression, I had trouble whether to outline the body or not. This was a fun exercise overall, but with the time constraint, I had to move on.

PRO: I figured what I need to work on.

CON: This still needs a lot of work.
