Lab 2: Gridlock

This lab was all about grids!

It was deceptively simple compared to the others, to the point where I had to check in with the professor to make sure I wasn’t misunderstanding. I think my experience as a photographer makes it easy for me to understand the purpose of a grid in composing something, whether it be a photo or a Figma exercise.

The file we had to copy remained mostly unedited by the time the video ended. One improvement that could be made to this lab is having students start off with a blank slate and make each element on their own. I think this would help in learning how to use Figma as well as make it more interactive.
