The objective of this assignment was to create a user interface for a Microsoft Word-like app. The designs had to follow the Google Material Design handbook and work on a smart phone. Coming up with a concept for this project was hard because every time you would come up with a design concept you would realize your design did not follow the handbook. It was hard to have creative control and I was afraid that if I made bold choices, I would not be following the handbook. I enjoyed the idea of following a handbook because it is something we will most likely have to follow at sometime in our career but I think it was especially difficult because it was a handbook we were really unfamiliar with and we didn’t have a lot of time to get and in depth understanding of it. My designs followed the rules and were appealing.
