Vivienne Chung, Communication Design, Junior
I am a communication design student, so this course is required for me. However, I've worked on a few UX projects in Figma for prior courses. I'm excited to learn more through this course.
I don't really have prior experience with HTML/CSS/JS. I did take CSE 131 in my freshman year, which was my only experience with coding.
I want to learn more about HTML and CSS and become more comfortable with using them.
Although it can be more complicated, I feel like designing for screen can be more flexible in a way than designing for paper. I can go back and adjust what needs to be fixed on screens.
LemmeLive is a website that exemplifies effective design. The color palette and stylistic choices make the brand identity strong.
The Uber website exemplifies effective communication. Although the design is minimal, I thought it was straightforward to navigate as a user.
Notion is a good example, in my opinion, as a website that works well. It is a perfect mixture of design with effective communication.
