Project 1 – DMA 217


  • What did you learn? I learned how to make prototypes in Figma and the basics of building a website, especially how to make buttons
  • What was easy? It was easy to find an aesthetic for my ToDo app. I wanted to add a different element which was a little character guiding you through the app, and helping you get started. I based the aesthetic of the page on the character’s colors.
  • What was challenging? It was challenging to keep track of the prototypes in Figma and make some buttons. Also to make sure everything was grammatically correct
  • How could your submission be improved? It could be improved by making the main page a little more colorful like the “getting started pages”
  • How could I improve the assignment for the next class? I could improve it by looking at the videos with more attention because I had trouble making the buttons and prototypes
  • How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I could apply this web design knowledge by creating pages like this in the future and finding different aesthetics for different types of pages or apps
  • How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? Looking through the past student’s examples helped me with the creation of the web pages. It was a little hard to come up with one that solved a specific problem
