100 Day Design Challenge

I officially began on February 26, 2017 and completed the design challenge on June 5, 2017. I began with little to no design knowledge, and my goal was to become familiar and quicker with design tools and see how much I've improved from Day 1 all the way to Day 100.

The most valuable lesson I’ve learned in the past 100 days was that designing wasn’t just simply placing nice colours and shapes onto a page. It’s really about solving the greater user experience problem, to provide a seamless, problem-free experience for all users, whether it be within an app or a website.

Day 29 - What time is it?

Second day for this Alarm app. Today went a lot faster because I had the main icons and design in place already.

After posting yesterday's design, I realized I wanted to change something, but then I decided to change it today instead. The thing I wanted to change was the gradient on the detailed lines in the background. I found out that you are able to make the line into a gradient after yesterday's posting. If you look back at previous days' background, the detailed lines are the same colour. As for today, I created a gradient so it matched with the background. By having this effect, it is a lot 'easier on the eyes.'
