Feedback

WEEK 4 (20.9.2022)
Use Miro instead of Illustrator for the wireframe sketches. Can proceed with wireframe 3 from shortlisted wireframes. 

WEEK 5 (27/9/2022)
Make sure to pay attention to the margin, alignment, white space as well as consistency. The call to action button is ideally placed on the bottom right, if placed elsewhere it needs to be prominent and justifiable.  



Reflection

Web design is way more complex and deeper than I initially thought. It's interesting to see how others format their websites and the elements that make up a good web interface. It's also cool to see how the modular and grid systems learned in Typography come into play in web design. A lot of thought is put into designing a good website and I can't wait to learn how to code my own.
