And I'm back.
I was away from the house for a week as I was in Cape Cod. I purposefully made sure I'd do no designing. I still recorded a podcast for Pixel Perfect because we had a guest interview and I had an impromted job interview but other than that I did the bare minimum of work. Even though I could have blogged the week before I went for a break however by Wednesday, I was just mentally out of it. It's strange getting back into things but I'm happy I took a much needed break from things. I hadn't taken a vacation since August of 2019,!
Having said that, I realize I didn't do a ton of design this week. Mostly because there was Startup Week and I wanted to view their Zoom panels. But next week, I'll have a lot more designs/sketches to show.

Fall
So the Pixel Perfect instagram is going to have a different schedule and we're eventually going to move it to just designs. We felt it limits us when we're creating designs. However, I didn't know that at the time and created this word design for Fall since when I'll post it's going to be 9/21.
These were the 3 leaves I used to create this design.

HiFi Wireframes
So that interview I was talking about wanted to give me an assessment test to make sure I knew what I was doing. They gave me lofi wireframes and gave me two days to create it. I didn't want to do it over my vacation but I did it this weekend. There were three screens they wanted me to design to hi-fi. Two of them they already planned out. I had to design the last screen on my own. Since this is still an Interview, I don't want to share everything but I'll share the first two screens that were based off of the low-fi wireframes.
So they wanted me to design the My Plan screen.

Sketches
So I have been told that this NHL app would work better as a website because there is a more simple language for that. So I made sketches for it to be on the website. Next step would be to put it on XD. Maybe I'll put it on Webflow or Wix before it's implemented?
