DMA 217: Project 2

  • What Did You Learn?

The main thing I learned how to do animations in Figma as well as improving my prototyping skills. Learning how to use certain animations was very helpful as it saved steps that other wise would have taken longer. In addition to the animations I felt as with more time in Figma I managed to improve my prototyping skills. As a result I feel I was able to take my skills up a notch compared to the first project.

  • What Was Easy?

It was easy coming up with the app concept I wanted. I am a huge sports fan in general and I feel with all the apps out there this one simplifies everything.

  • What Was Challenging

The hardest thing for me in this project was surprisingly the color scheme. With so many teams using different colors I wanted to make sure I had a theme that worked well with that. As a result I kept it simple with black, silver and white. But this also felt to bland on it’s own so I added the teams colors on their corresponding pages. It was also challenging to find sources I liked because I wanted to use other sites for content and not just main stream articles.

  • How Could Your Submission be Improved?

I think my submission could be improved if I had more time. I probably spent to much time doing the team webpages and in turn wasn’t able to spend more time on the chat screen (a key feature of my app). Overall however I think everything came out great including the layout coming out in a very clean way.
