What did you learn?<\/strong> This project introduced me to video prototyping on Figma. Up to this point, I had only ever done work with still images (on the To Do app and Web Development project). Prototyping videos was a whole different ball game. For example, I learned how to start and pause a playing video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was easy?<\/strong> Coming up with the idea was fairly simple, as well as the designing portion of the application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was challenging?<\/strong> I had a difficult time prototyping this project. It was just very difficult to follow at the front of the class, so I had to schedule a few meetings with Professor Dunkle to get me back on track. I ended up realizing that the biggest reason my Prototypes were failing was because I was not putting things in frames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could your submission be improved?<\/strong> I feel like the prototyping is a bit clunky. For example, for my back button, I was unable to make it go “on tap.” It would only let me do it “on drag.” I am sure there is a way to fix it, but I was unsure of what to do. If I had a bigger skillset, I could definitely make the application way bigger and more complex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could I improve the assignment for the next class?<\/strong> There is a lot I could do to make this better. If I had more time, I could’ve done more than two translation prototypes. This class as a whole was not my strong suit, and theres a lot I could learn on Figma to make me a better user. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/strong> Even though I do not see myself heading down a web design path in the future, the skills I learned will make me a very well-rounded candidate for a job in (hopefully) digital marketing in the future. My graphic design background makes me more marketable than other MarCom people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/strong> What really inspired this assignment was my trip to Italy I took over spring break with my Travel Photography course. Luckily, our tour guide did most of the translating for us, but it got me thinking; What would I do if I went to a foreign country by myself without a translator? The language barrier was a real thing. That was what inspired me to create TranslateLive, an Augmented Reality translator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
