Week 18 - Nailing it in Lisbon

Howdy from Lisbon!

Probably the warmest place in Europe at the moment. It is 24 degrees and tomorrow will probably be the first beach day! :)

Ok but enough of that... I have been in Lisbon for 1 week now and it is great.
Last week was one of my most productive weeks probably since starting the course. Productivity not only limited to the amount of tasks I have been submitting but also with the life happening around it.

My structure is very simple:

between 9 and 11 hit the gym.
after that, a shower and lunch.
20 minutes of road and I am at my co-working place - cowork lisboa.
Check it out it's great! Really... I am surround by creative people in a very relaxed atmosphere. Ideas and motivation has been flowing!
Between 18 and 20 I leave and head home for a quick meal.

Now the fun starts, well the other fun... the course is not boring that is not what I am saying.
But Lisbon is full of things happening and I grew up here so there is always someone to meet and something to do!

So coursewise... Design. Yes, I am starting to thing about the actual design for Taskly.

In module 7, the first task was selecting a color palette. Below you can see my choice, or you can check the full color palette task here.




The second task was to chose a font. I wanted to use Proxima Nova. Really cool font and widely used at the moment. Unfortunately I cannot afford to pay for it so I decided to go with PT Sans. Well it's not the best out there but it is a Sans Serif font and that is what I need to give Taskly a modern and professional look. You can see the full task here.

The third task accomplished last week... yes the third, I can't remember last time I managed to complete three tasks in a single week, was about creating a Style Tile. Slightly different than a moodboard, the Style Tile exemplifies with some real examples what Taskly will look like.



There we go! That was a busy week :)

I am still a little behind on the course but I am catching up really quick. It is incredible how our surroundings really affects our mood! 

Thanks for popping by and see you next week!
Cheers :)
