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 wanted to do something simple today, so I decided to create the lockscreen that I currently have right now.

I used Lucida Grande for all the fonts today and I took the icons from Google again. In order to darken the background image, I had to add a rectangular box on top of the image, then filled it with black, with a gradient of 40%. If I were to change the opacity of the image (which I tried), it would go more white, which wasn't what I was going for. So, I decided to add the rectangle on top. As for the numbers, I had the rows be in a single text box, instead of having each of them in individual text boxes.

Everything was pretty easy to create, especially when I placed the screenshot right next to the artboard. This really helped to make sure that I created everything.
