Personal Learning Goal Progress - May 29th
As the semester’s end draws near, I think about all that I’ve learned throughout this course – and there were so many things I’ve learned.
1) My first learning goal was to learn how to animate in Principle. I’ve come a long way with Principle thanks to the HCI final and was even able to create my first animated prototype GIF which you can see in the post below and went straight up to my portfolio on Behance. It was really satisfying to see it go in all one loop. Of course, there’s still a LOT of room for improvement and I hope to improve even more over these next couple of weeks.
2) My progress with SketchApp is amazing! By now, I’ve started to use most of the hotkeys and I pretty much know where everything is. Even my friends have begun to ask me how to do certain things in Sketch which feels pretty great because it used to be the other way around.
3) Lastly, I’ve developed a pretty specific sketching on paper style. The sketches itself are really nice but I still want to work on sketching more often. In the beginning of a project, I should be doing twice as many sketches as I am now just to get all my ideas down on paper but I’m still failing at that. Hopefully the master test will also encourage me to sketch more since I’ll be designing for 3 systems!
