I learned a lot through this project about the actual creation of an app that looks good AND functions, which is more challenging than I initially expected. Through my research I found that since CRMs are more business focused the design of them are very plain and dull. I wanted to have more fun with it and be slightly more creative with everything. I struggled with trying to figure out exactly what a CRM did and the expected features of it that I should include. Due to my focus in graphic design, I think that my final product looks nice, but does not necessarily function as smoothly as it could. That being said, I feel that I did a good job of creating icons and buttons that were clearly labeled and recognizable as things that you could click. In the future I will try to focus more on creating a good flow between screens and mapping out the paths before I do the design work instead of trying to do both at the same time.
