Project 2: Design for Driving

Figma Link

What did you learn? In this project I learned how to create a mock car dash in Figma using my own design and prototypes.

What was easy? It was easy to prototype as we have done this before in Project 1.

What was challenging? It was challenging to set up the dark mode for one of my user flows. I’ve never done that before so it was interesting to see how it could be done.

How could your submission be improved? I could have made my color scheme have better contrast due to this being designed for someone driving. More contrast would be better so the driver can interact with the screen with their eyes on the road.

How could I improve the assignment for the next class? Although this is the first time this project has been assigned, I wish there were more examples to refer to out of class.

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I will apply my new knowledge of light and dark mode for future class work and hopefully in a future career scenario.

How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? Refer to a specific reading or link for this; do not reference a class video or lecture. This video by Figma helped me understand more advanced prototyping in depth. It taught me how to create my own prototypes within the project.

Project 1: To-Do App

What did you learn? I learned how to create a task completion app on Figma.

What was easy? It was easy to navigate Figma and create designs for the interface.

What was challenging? It was challenging to keep track of all the prototype paths as it was becoming confusing with so many.

How could your submission be improved? I could have make it so every task you edit/delete was clickable. In my design only the first task of each day is interactive.

How could I improve the assignment for the next class? I wish there were more “checkpoints” within the project instead of it being due all on the same day.

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I will use my newly developed knowledge of Figma within other DMA classes and I’m sure I will use my knowledge of prototyping websites/app design in future work scenarios.

How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? This article by Adobe helped me understand the thinking behind website design. It helped me understand how to make an aesthetically pleasing interface that is also functionable and can be used by anyone.
