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 41 - Where is the Aquarium?

Today I decided to create a map. I wasn't sure where I was going with this at first, but I decided to focus on a specific location: The Vancouver Aquarium.

The main thing I had to figure out myself was the content within the box. The most important question I had to ask myself was: What would users would like to know about this location? Instead of doing user research and conducting user interviews, I decided to check out what information Google Map provides for their users.

As for the logos, I created all of them, except for the telephone. Also, I added multiple pictures and the ability to scroll through a variety of pictures. This allows the user to get a better sense of what the place offers.
