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.

Today I decided to recreate a landing page. I chose to recreate this site: timetablerecords.com .

In order to get the correct fonts and the images on the site, I used Image Downloader and Fontfaceninja. The most complicated part about this design were the placement and sizes of the text. Each letter increases in size from left to right.

In order to achieve this effect, I had to convert the text to outlines then use the transform tool. However, this doesn't really align with User Experience Design, because UX Designers try to have websites understandable and accessible by all users, including those who are visually impaired. If the text is transformed, it cannot be read anymore by audible machines. Therefore, transforming the text would not be the best way.
