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 7 - Meet My Dad

I've always been a fan simple animated characters and I thought creating one would take years of practice. Today, I can say I've finally learned how to create one on my own - not perfectly done, but getting there.

I wouldn't say this is the best representation of my dad, but he definitely has a thing for baseball caps. Through this exericse, I learned how to create shadows under the outline of a shape, which was to "Covert to Outlines." I'm not sure if that was the correct way to do it, but it worked. I was able to give the cap, his ears, and his chin some 3D effect.
