  • Completed the persona in a good design template that is visually better than last time. I learn the difference between a good template and a better template. Especially in the use of colors and font.
  • Working with the team on the mood board
  • Finishing the low fidelity prototype. I feel very accomplished that the team decided to use my split screen design as a sample. First time designing something like and learned a lot of the critical thinking and skills that comes with it. After that, changing most of the low fidelity to Mid fidelity prototype by changing all the text boxes to words
