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 backpack ended up being a lot more detailed than I imagined. I took a picture of a Hershel backpack for a reference, and turned it into my own - completely changed the pattern, the colours, etc.
I left the shadows for the end. I wasn't sure of where to put the shadows for a flat surface. Also, the Mask function was hard to use, and I'm not sure if I fully understand how it can be used. I should explore more of it tomorrow.
