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 73 - Uploading...

I wanted to go back to designing for the desktop, so I decided to start off with something simple.

Since many of the file-drop upload interfaces are very simple and clean, I wanted to change up the mood by making it a darker theme. Instead of using blue with black again, I decided to switch it up by changing it to orange and black. To be honest, I'm still unsure of how to create the dotted line in one go. It took me a while to get the number of desired lines. Question to future self: The higher the number for Dash, does that mean there will be more dotted lines or less dotted lines?

Everthing else was pretty straightforward. I got the png images from Google and made up the stats for each of the uploading times. This was definitely one of the easier screens I've created, but I'm glad I chose an easy one today. It's different designing for a horizontal screen instead of a vertical one now. Not only that, there's a bigger white canvas I need to utilize.

I can't wait to design more desktop screens. This is just the beginning.
