I had 17 views on my last post, maybe 12 as the 5 were probably mine :) Nevertheless the highest view number since the beginning! I'll call it a small victory :)
I had to to re-submit the style tile form last week. I am sure you noticed, if you have an eye for detail, that it was a bit sloppy. Here is the final version:
This is much better indeed, if you cannot remember the last one, check Week 18.
As you noticed I am finally starting Taskly's actual Design. To be honest with you I kinda suck at it!
What I mean is I am not the artistic kind of guy. It's hard for me to find some harmony and make the better use of color palettes and kinda make it look like a whole, or in other words, create a brand for Taskly. But you know what? That is fine.
At the end of the day it is not entirely my job as a future UX Designer.
Hopefully the separation between UX and UI will be more and more obvious and I won't have to worry too much with the aesthetics.
Still, I do have to be able to make the best possible presentations so I can communicate my ideas in a clear visual way.
Last week I started the Taskly UI Kit. I am using Sketch and Photoshop. Well, using and learning at the same time. I do have some photoshop knowledge from the visual effects days but I haven't used it for a while now.
I have submitted 3 versions of the UI Kit so far and they have all been rejected by my mentor.
His feedback has been good and useful and a few minutes ago, before I started writing this post I have submitted the 4th draft.
So this is how it looks at the moment. The first drafts were too close from the wireframes. The whole point is here is to create kind of a brand identity. What do you guys think ? Some feedback here would be great :)
This is where I stand at the moment, I have completed 72% of the course and still have 43 days to finish it! I m very confident I will finish on time but for now I really need to start improving my design skills. I am going to keep practicing sketch and photoshop and look for inspiration.
And now, little gift for my readers: recently I have installed the Muzli by invision addon for chrome. It puts a lot of design related websites available for you when you open a new tab. It is really cool if you look for inspiration on a daily basis. Check it out!
I'll see you guys next week!
