I noticed a few things with my working:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>I really did not want to do the after effects video. That surprised me, because I came in excited to learn after effects. But what it really was: my assumption that motion design and ae are all the rage. It might be true for the trends, but I have never been a video\/streaming\/screen person. So in my head, it makes sense why I didn&#8217;t like it that much. Maybe I&#8217;ll find the glory of it in another project, but for now, not my favourite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User interviews got significantly easier over time. Especially with friends and family, where it can be tricky to keep a &#8220;job&#8221; personality on as they are cracking jokes. I&#8217;ve come to love this aspect of UX. And unlike above, that doesn&#8217;t surprise me <em>at all. <\/em> I&#8217;ve always been fascinated in how people do what they do, so of course I&#8217;m going to want to talk to them about it!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s hard to work with cold hands and feet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I would like to revisit and re-examine a lot of the user journey maps. All of the different names they have get me all jumbled up, so it would be nice to have a set of flashcards that I could practice to understand which is which and what purpose it serves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I would like more hands on practice! It felt a lot of studio time recently has been individual crit, which is incredibly helpful, but I hope we can reintroduce play into work and get the creative juices flowing. Have you seen The Art of Design?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Figma is still tricky for me, and something as an independent study is I&#8217;m going to watch a youtube video a day trying to learn a new skill. Whether it be advanced or simply how to organize a workspace, having those foundational skills set in stone will help me with the upcoming projects. My workspace (online) has been a mess and that&#8217;s been messing with my head, but I&#8217;m not sure how to help it! I would honestly really appreciate a digital guide or few lessons over just different ways to stay tidy in our little computers and be kind to our minds. I know everyone does it differently, but isn&#8217;t that the same for&#8230;most things?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll see I haven&#8217;t really attached miro boards in my blog, and there&#8217;s a reason for that. In figma, I am getting really caught up in minute details that I will probably change later anyway. The same is happening with miro. I am finding it much more useful to grab my notebook and jot down ideas, wireframes, etc. there. Hence, all of the notebook scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with figma, as with miro, constantly learning, constantly wondering. I am still so pleased to be on this course. But my god do we have a heavy workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got an invite to speak at a start up event because of Sync the City. Super cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of paper to show progress this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
