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.

I changed the UI of a friend's current TipCalc mobile app.

To be honest, I don't believe this app has enough content to entice users to download it. But this re-design was not to change the content, but to re-create it. I changed the colour scheme from green and white to red and black. The whole app only has two pages in total, so I decided to design both the pages.

I also installed an iPhone template border to show how the app looks on mobile. As for the background, I used a grid fill at 200%, then added a red and black gradient on top.
