  • I learned how to make it so that the content is scrollable.
  • The easiest part was creating the design system and the color pallet.
  • The most challenging part was creating the mobile navigation overlay.
  • My submission could be improved if I replaced the placeholder images with more colorful content.
  • The assignment might be able to improve if more devices were included such as gaming systems or TVs.
  • I think knowing how to incorporate the scrolling function is something that can definitely be used in future projects.
  • The video “Creating Typography Styles” was really helpful in making the whole process quicker and easier.”

  • I learned how to import videos into Figma by using the fill tool.
  • The easiest part about the assignment was adding buttons and different variations of those buttons.
  • The most challenging aspect of the assignment was getting used to overlays and getting the timing of them right. As well as playing and pausing the video.
  • My submission could be improved by getting the timing of the overlays exactly right so the video just looks cleaner overall.
  • There is not much to improve upon this assignment.
  • I can apply this knowledge to future work scenarios by using the overlay options in different kinds of art programs or while animating, and even putting together presentations.
  • The article AUGMENTED INFOGRAPHICS (https://medium.com/infographics-next/augmented-infographics-c9fe727937ed) was really helpful because the people within the article strived to make an AR experience that could benefit more than one group of people.

    On each stamp the location, which is the country of Vietnam, and its’ currency called “đồng” (6000₫), are displayed.

    • I learned about complimentary type faces and fonts in depth and furthered my understanding of the two. The easiest part of the project was finding the images that relate to the culture, the most challenging part was trying to find fonts that might go well together. My submission might be improved if I chose different colors for the fonts. I don’t think there is any need for the assignment itself to be improved upon anymore. I think this project will definitely help me be more conscious of making my font look better and more together on future projects. The “type in design” slides helped me because they detailed just exactly how type can look better by being mindful of things like alignment, spacing, and measure.
    • In my first two type faces I tried to emphasize bold vs. thin font and I wanted it to look more modern, and in the second two I wanted to focus on a more classic style.

    • I learned how to use more tools in photoshop in a more efficient way. The easiest part was implementing the pattern by using a plugin. The hardest part was finding the images that I would use and making sure they would fit together. My submission could be improved if the patterns were more spaced out. The assignment doesn’t need much to improve upon. I will definitely apply what I learned about creating vector masks in photoshop to future assignments. I think examples from the other students as well as the lectures helped the most.

    One thing I learned while doing this project is how to utilize plugins. The easiest part was finding color schemes, and the most challenging part was applying those color schemes to a certain theme. My submission could be improved if I added more details to certain areas. The assignment could be improved if maybe there were more themes to choose from. I could definitely apply the knowledge of the different kinds of fills (such as a linear or radial fill) to future art projects. The article “Color Theory for Designers, Part 3: How To Create Your Own Color Schemes” was helpful in understanding what colors look better together.
