Choose wisely. You'll have to work on these for the remainder of the semester.
By the end of the semester, my expectation is that you will meet these goals.
Primary Goal: Take a concept and translate it into a fluid, easy-to-use and beautiful experience.
Secondary Goals:
- Communicate and deliver polished products within a team
- Aim for good development hygiene (e.g., Github)
- Develop an iterative design process
- Exposed to industry best practices
- Design mobile-first
- Learn to say "no"
- Learn to sell your work
- Learn the basic building blocks of HTML & CSS
- Learn how to get unstuck (both design/debug code)
- Always be testing your work
