bridge
times
The Bridgetimes Project (DMA 370) was absolutely my favorite I've done in the DMA program so far. I personally feel as though the data set is very relevant and useful to a lot of people, as commuting is no uncommon thing. Like the other apps that I have designed throughout this course, simplicity was my main focus. Whenever I look at apps that I use, I judge based on how cluttery they may be. I let it guide how I design my apps, and I feel as though that's not such a bad thing.
What I'll be taking away from this project is that I learned the fundamentals to color schemes within UI design. I was really determined to use the basic color scheme of green-good/yellow-ok/red-bad somewhere within the app. Originally, I used it as a text color, but that just looked ugly. I changed it to be the background color, with a desaturated background and was really content with how it looked. Below will be pictures of another example, where colors just didn't fit in place. I really feel as though the perfect balance between monochromatic design with one or two colors works really well.
I'm really happy overall with how this app came out. It's a simple little app to tell what the bridge delays are. I also tried implementing a phone picture + different color scheme ideas for the web page. Comparing it to the first two projects, this one is my most confident and to sound like a broken record, I'm really happy about the result.
