Week 9 - Capstone

What Wows? - D4G Methodology

Description

This week I got started on prototyping with Figma. I already had the wire frames to start with, albeit the old ones; to the panel centred website. So I started doing that on Figma and I incorporated basic layouts (without the information) using my colour scheme at first.

I spent most of the first part of the week doing that, just iterating as I prototyped, and I did start prototyping the podcast centred website.

I forgot to but this information in the LAST BLOGS but I was writing the report as well. I had filled in some information that Roma highlighted for me before mid-semester break over the break. By the first check in I had sufficient enough information so that I wasn't panicking in that week 7 to get it filled.

Feelings

In this week I know I shouldn't have but I felt quite relaxed (foreshadowing). I was doing what I said in the timeline, I was prototyping at a steady pace, I was writing in the report, guided by the 302 slides on report writing. I felt calm (foreshadowing DUN DUN DUN)

Evaluations and Analysis

I think the reason I was feeling relaxed was because I was kind of avoiding Diana (oop). I didn't want to get more project changing feedback because as I said in my feels, I was calm (DUN). This was probably bad, because as I said in my last blog she still had really good insights. I was however a bit frustrated because while I was prototyping with the dark colour scheme of my palette some of my peers were telling me it didn't look right, and me being stubborn, I didn't want to take their advice. But at the end of the week I caved and started to iterate my first prototype to a lighter colour scheme of my palette. I have to say I'm glad I caved, It made me realise that the old colour scheme was a bit dull. I think what went well was that I listened to my peers advice, but what didn't go well was that I was being stubborn about it and was convinced that my dark colour scheme looked good.

Conclusion and Action plan

I know now that I shouldn't be so stubborn when it comes to getting advice and that I should come in with an open mind. I should probably stop avoiding Diana as well she probably has some good insights for me
