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.

I decided to create an Error page from a site that inspired me: Bit.ly.

To place the text on the ocean line, I used the tool "Text on Path." I still have trouble using this tool because when I try to move it along the path, sometimes it'd disappear - not sure if it's a bug or my technique is not that great yet. Other than that, this was a pretty easy webpage to design because there aren't many elements I need to include. I think it'd be fun to develop this page and seeing it live.
