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.

Day 57 - Instagram Revamped

I've always wanted to design a profile page with uploaded images on it, something like Instagram.

Instead of copying Instagram's current design, I tried to create something similar but with a different look. I went for the darker theme. The three dots in the user's profile indicates the number of pages the user wants to show its followers. This can include their bio, contact information, etc.

Instead of creating a newsfeed of pictures, I decided to create an overlay similar to Instagram's. This happens when the user holds onto a picture on one's profile. The background will blur and three actions will be prompted: Like, Comment or Share.

I used a lot of masks and centering for this design. I can say this was definitely one of the easier designs to create or maybe it's just getting easier. :)
