What did you learn?
I learned more hotkeys for Figma, and how to generally work with Figma. I did not recall much from when I used Figma last year. This time it was easier to use now that I am more familiar with the software.
What was easy?
Finding a color palette was easy. I like the color sage green, so I found a color palette on Pinterest.
What was challenging?
What I found to be the most challenging was making all the parts of the app look neat by aligning them. I also struggled to make sure ALL the parts of the prototyping work properly.
How could your submission be improved?
I could have had more features added to my app. I had poorly timed my project. Initially, I wanted to add a feature that would keep track of the user’s water intake.
How could I improve the assignment for the next class?
I had trouble making a menu but the issue was solved in class. Maybe next time there can be a demo video on how to do it.
How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
Now I am more familiar with Figma I plan to create more ambitious projects. I can do more now that the learning curve has lessened for me.
How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
It is not a reading but the color palette gave me the idea for the design and name of the app.
