Things I have learnt from the two projects:
The importance of user research and user testing. How the user can provide useful insights to help you improve the designs.
When working in a group project, I found that it doesn’t matter how amazing the ideas are, or what our individual design tastes are. The most important thing is to provide the user with the best user experience possible for your design.
The power of online sharing software like Dropbox and Google Drive. This is because when we started the project we found it hard to keep the design style consistent with each other. So through using these software, we are able to work on the same files at the same time. Which allows us to make any changes quickly, while keeping our designs consistent.
I have learnt how to use Adobe Experience Design software. I found it much easier to do screen designs on Experience Design than Illustrator. It is much more efficient.
I have discovered a software call Colour Oracle that you can install on your computer. Which help you see what your design colour choice looks like under three different colour blind conditions (deuteranopia, protanopia and tritanopia).
