What I Learned
- Improvement
- Focusing on all aspects of design
- Interaction vs design
Through the entirety of this 5-week project, I feel as though I have really developed as a designer in many ways. This shows to me, very apparent in the progression of my composition iterations, with every iteration becoming better than the last. This is because I really started to focus on all the elements of design as individuals and together, furthering myself as a designer. My design focus ultimately overshadowed my interaction focus. In the future, I need to get better at designing and focusing on interaction.
