30 days UI Challenge (on going)

I have been through the theory and practised thanks to the training project but I felt my work flow was not fluid enough. What a better plan than to do the 30 days challenge to have a better grip at FIGMA and improving my skills 😁

 

DAY 1 - Create a hover button, I also tried to replicate iOS glass effect .

DAY 2 - Pick 2 fonts and create a visual hierarchy. Also experiences colours and effects.

DAY 3 - Create a 5 colour palette and apply it to a simple card (I decided to create a random page app instead). Personal feedback : the title contrast is not great it might not adhere to WCAG standards.

Training Project with Google

Through the UX training I applied the learned principles on my project. The prompt is the following : design an app that enables tutors to list their services and parents to search for and book the with the tutors.

On this sector there is a strong competition, I decided to design my app through an innovative approach. Allow parents to find tutors scrolling through their academic skills AND allow them to focus on the tutors soft skills. I also added the option to book a tutor depending on the location (distance).

 

OBJECTIVES

-> Enable research by academic skills

-> Highlight tutor's soft skills

-> Facilitate location-based tutor research

-> Ensure the app is easy to use and understand (child-friendly)

-> Ensure the app is accessible 

 

PROBLEMS

-> Risk of confusion due to a high number of entries

 

SOLUTIONS

-> Visual distinctions

---> distance tutor research ----> use a map for location-based searches

---> combine logos with words for clarity

 

PERSONAL PROBLEMS

- Difficulties using Figma: YouTube tutorials, especially from #DesignwithArash and #Figma, were a lifesaver ❀️!

- Discipline : working from home without strict deadlines required setting a timetable and scheduling personal deadlines.πŸ¦„

- Thinking too far ahead : I kept a notebook to jot down ideas and implement them at the right time. 😎

- Efficiency: Memorizing shortcuts and using sticker sheets helped streamline my workflow. πŸ‘πŸ½
