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 was sitting in a meeting when this idea popped into my head. In the meeting, everyone was using MacBooks, and there I sat, with a MacBook as well. What if I didn't have a Macbook? What would it look like? So I had am idea to create a laptop that looked like a MacBook but wasn't a MacBook.
Once again, I struggled with using Masks, so what I did to create the shadows was to create the actual shape of it. This required a lot of editing and transforming.
