What did you learn?
I had not used Figma before this project, so I had not known anything about the software at the time. Due to this, I had to learn everything from scratch for this project
What was easy?
After learning the basics of Figma, I did not have many issues with using styles, placing components, and navigating the overall layout that Figma uses.
What was challenging?
Creating a logo, choosing a font, learning COMDMA, and initially learning prototyping was challenging for me.
How could your submission be improved?
The two things that I would have liked to do to improve the project would be to implement variants for my navigation bar, and to create a secondary set of frames for a different, “light mode” color palette.
How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
The assignment seemed to be paced as if the student was expected to have a fair amount of preexisting Figma knowledge. Due to that, the start was quite bumpy for me. If there was one more day to go over navigating Figma’s layout, that would have been very helpful for me
How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
At the start of this assignment, I had not used the assets menu. Due to that, almost everything I had done at the start needed to be redone with assets. In future assignments, I should not run into that issue again.
How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
Looking through the form design ideas on medium.muz.li was helpful for gathering inspiration for my textboxes.
