We just finished the first two weeks of classes. I am having a lot of fun in my classes this semester. There are many things I am going to learn and am looking forward to learning. One project we have started is creating an app. We are hardly done with the project but so far we have done a lot I have never done before.
We are not going to code the app, but we are going to design it. So far, I have come up with a name for the app, the theme and color scheme it will have, decided what needs it will address, the target audience, and what functions it will provide. I have also created a survey to collect data for the app. The survey will help design the app for the target audience. Because they would be the ones who will interact with the app. Our next step in this assignment is combining our data from the survey into two to three different “User Personas” that describe the target audience.
It has been a blast so far creating this app. I hope I can learn from It and improve my skills. I have a little experience in designing websites, flyers, and things like that. But this is my first time designing an app. It is very similar to everything else thus far, but at the same time is very different. I have never taken this approach to designing something. It has always been what I thought would be the best design for the target audience or viewers. But this assignment went above and beyond to make an app that was tailored to actual people and their opinions. At the moment the app is not done, but I hope to use this experience to help me make other projects.
