What Did I learn? <\/strong>This “To Do” App was definitely a learning experience for me. I had only used Figma once before this assignment during my freshman year, but this project was a lot more complex. Something in particular I learned that I found useful is the ability to create components. Creating components made it so much easier to replicate a button, checkbox, etc. that I needed again. One more thing I learned was the concept of plugins. Plugins made it very easy to add icons or any additional features to your app that Figma doesn’t offer itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was easy? <\/strong> In my opinion, this project was difficult to do on my own. Asking Professor Dunkle for help over zoom aided me with a great deal of this assignment. I consider myself a slow learner when it comes to learning new programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was challenging?<\/strong> There were multiple challenging aspects of this project, but one thing I really struggled with was the navigation tab. It took me multiple attempts to get it to work the way I wanted. It took a big chunk of my zoom session with Professor Dunkle to get it working correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could my submission be improved?<\/strong> Now that my To Do app is complete, I feel there is nothing “wrong” with it per se, but I feel it is not very aesthetically appealing or creatively designed. It is a bit too simple looking in my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could I improve my assignment for the next class?<\/strong> I believe I could improve my app by taking the time to learn the Figma tool better and possibly watching tutorials on how to use the app. I also could’ve viewed more of Professor Dunkle’s class lectures to figure out things I missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/strong> As somebody who wants to pursue social media and social media marketing as a future profession, I feel that Figma may be an extremely useful tool to know. There may be a time in my career where I need to mockup social media posts or app updates on Figma. It is a great tool to help an idea come to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/strong> What inspired the idea for my app was a challenge I was seeing on social media called the “75 Hard.” I thought it would be cool to base my app off of that instead of doing a regular To Do app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
