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.
This was a design I've always wanted to create: Simplying something complicated.
The hardest part about this one was to ignore all the details and focus on the bigger picture. I tried looking for simple graphics of Belle to help me with this, but there weren't any. In the end, I realized I put too much detail in shadows. Also, not putting layers in her hair was a struggle.
All in all, pretty satisfied with this design. :)
