What did you learn? I learned how to use Figma’s design & prototyping tools to create an augmented reality app which combines traditional video footage and design features with the real, outside world by manipulating the timing in which designs pop up on the screen and how they can be interacted with. We learned how […]
What did you learn? I learned how to design a mobile and desktop website prototype in Figma. My design skills were tested as I constructed the elements of the site as well as the layout of the content. I learned how to set up the nav systems for each site type and link the site […]
What did you learn? I learned how to create unique designs while staying in the margins and using a grid. We once again used our knowledge of color scheme for this project and we learned new skills on typography. Combined, these skills can create something that looks organized and blends well together despite the fonts […]
What did you learn? I learned how to combine elements of a metaphor into a great piece of art that is creative and gets the message across. It was good to enhance my knowledge of Photoshop since it’s been a while since I last used it for a project. I re-learned how to do layer […]
What did you learn? I learned how to better apply the use of colors to art. I learned about the use of the color wheel and how the use of certain color schemes (Triadic or split-complementary for example) can be used to create a sense of depth and make art stand art. I got a […]
What did you learn? I learned about multiple Gestalt principles and how to apply them to designs. I also learned how using these principals in designs can force the eye to move in a specific pattern. This greatly enhanced my knowledge of Figma and taught me that complex designs can come out of simple shapes. […]
1. What did you learn? I learned about infographics. I specifically learned what they are, why they are used, and what kinds of useful information they can provide. We learned to create maps in Illustrator using infographics. 2. What was easy? Creating the roads and playing around with the colors and strokes was pretty easy […]
1. What did you learn? I learned multiple ways in which Photoshop can be used to create an interesting composition. Many tools were introduced to me with this project that I either never used previously or have do so very little. For example, I never really used the gradient tool, but I now find it […]
