This project was one of my first major introductions to Figma prototyping in-depth. A hugely influential part of this project for me was the emphasis on UI Elements and Designing with Intent. I can honestly admit that often when I design, I tend to decorate. I have a hard time focusing on the actual User Experience and aim straight for emotion or sensory appeal, hardly even considering the purpose or functionality of my design. By collaborating with classmates and having other people test my prototypes, I better understand the importance of user flow and what it means to have simple, recognizable navigation within my designs. It’s fascinating to me that there is so much behind a concept I obliviously assumed was straightforward.
