UPDATE
Case study on selected projects – here
In my quest to be a better UI designer, I decided to participate in the Ingressive4Good 30 Days of Design. I pray I stay consistent because this is the motivation I need to learn and improve.
Here we go 🙂

Going through what I have created in 3 days, I feel so grateful to Ingressive and Geneza for the opportunity to learn UI design.

Day 5
Task: Develop an Idea for a mobile app where you can find and book a parking spot near you or around a specific address.
With this, I added a social page on the app – where users can share traffic updates.
Day 6
Task: Illustrate a house using shapes. Be creative and think outside the box
Day 7
Task: Discover any brand with a bad website design, give it a nice look (Just a simple and creative landing page)
I worked on Kingdom books and stationery website.
Day 8
Task: Play around with cards layout and grid
Day 9
Resource: I found a useful video on presenting your UI shots like the ones on dribbble. One valuable piece of information in the video was: picking the primary color for the presentation background and changing the HSL value. Tried this on Day 9 and I like the outcome.
Task: Design a fun 404 page
I decided to create a 404 page for Day 1 challenge. I do not know if it’s fun but here we go 🙂
PAUSE
This challenge has helped me note areas I need to improve. Things like picking a color scheme, visual hierarchy, spacing, font sizing, and font matching are a bit challenging.

Day 12
Todo: Design a fancy dashboard for any popular business brand.
I picked Empire Domus for this task. I researched the company and listed out possible widgets on the dashboard. My initial idea was to have a sticky board by the side. I did not like how it looked so I changed the design at the last moment. Writing this now, I think having the board as a separate page will make more sense. I’ll definitely work on it again.
For the final design, I opted for a dashboard where a user can see: incoming messages, projects, floor plans for review, and a to-do list. I extracted the colors from the logo (using Canva Color Palette generator).
Initial design vs final design.
Note that I usually design using a gray palette then when I am done, I fill in colors and add images. Yeah and the dummy text on the to-do *facepalm*. I’ll leave my mistakes here so you do not make it.
