Project 3 Reflection – DMA 217 A
What did you learn?I learned to more coherently design websites/apps and map out their functions. I also had to use my intuition on making decent graphic design choices, which is not easy for me given that I’m not used to color theory and I haven’t memorized hex codes. What was easy?I had an easier time […]
Project 2 Reflection – DMA217 A
What did you learn?I learned how to construct a website prototype using Figma’s prototype features. I also learned how to assemble a design system using styles in Figma. I slowly sort of assembled a system for organizing these frames and plotting the links between each page. I also learned how to incorporate overlays into my […]
Reflection on Project 1 – DMA 217 (Interaction Design)
What did I learn?I was supposed to learn about the basics of interface design for mobile apps. I designed a barebones app layout and plotted out a web of interactions and transitions between pages. I also created components such as buttons to shorten my process when making several similar pages. The goal of this project […]

Project 4 Summary For my fourth and final project for DMA 201, I was tasked with making a short film, no longer than two minutes, trying to encapsulate a specific emotion. The emotion I chose was exhaustion. On Exhaustion Over the course of this semester I have spent several late nights staring at blank pages […]
Reflection on Project 3 – DMA 201
What did I learn? I learned a very basic and amateurish understanding of Unity’s UI, and even then I have a lot to learn if I want to make anything worthwhile with the program. My ambitions soared too high at the start of the project, and then once I realized how little I actually know […]
Reflection on Project 2 – DMA 201A
What did I learn?I learned some aspects of site design, at least when it comes to setting up a basic layout and creating a somewhat visually appealing aesthetic. What was easy?It was easy putting together the basic layout on figma. What was challenging?Everything else. I agonized over every aesthetic choice (font, page color, header/footer color). […]
Reflection on Project 1 – DMA 201
*Images are at the bottom of the post* What did I learn? Well, I suppose I have a somewhat better understanding of photoshop, though I still feel very clumsy when trying to navigate through its UI. What was easy? Anything we were guided through during the class meetings was easy enough to catch on to, […]
Reflection on Project 4
For this project, my objective was to create four postage stamps themed around anything that came to mind. Each stamp shown here pays homage to a work of fiction I enjoy. The aesthetics of each stamp are heavily influenced by the works that inspired them, so I had an easy time with things like font […]
