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 38 - Hello Rain

I made the graph I wanted to create yesterday!

This design took a lot longer than I thought it would. Even though there are many things that were already created from yesterday's design, I had to make sure the spacing was correct for the graph. Also, I've decided to make this graph for the "Hourly" page. Also, instead of hourly increments, I made them go up by 3, because 24 (hours) can be divisible by 3 and this number is easy to calculate in the head.

As for the rain cloud icon, I had to create a new one. The one I got off of Google yesterday was not in high quality. So, what I did was I moved and changed the size the bad quality icon to my desired location and size (it got really pixelated), then I traced over it. It turned out better than I thought. :)
