The Idea.
I thought it would be an interesting challenge to work with restricted space, while presenting information in a digestable format. Each widget had unique obstacles. This project enchanced my methods for solving problems while excercising my eye for aesthetics. I wanted to push my typography skills in this project, and work from scratch with only a short task description for reference. Working with limited space created new opportunities for growth and allowed me to think outside of the box.

Progress Visualization

When working with limited space, it is important to quantify user data in such a way that is easy to understand. Visualization reduces the amount of words needed to communicate an idea or statement. This manifested into progress bars and counters within this project. Not only does this reduce clutter, but it gamifies the interface and encourages engagement with the application. When I initally executed this feature, it became apparent that there is more nuance to small details than I orginally thought. After examining user critiques, it was discovered people were misinterpreting the visual data display as buttons. In response, I refined the the visual features for better clarity. After multiple iterations, I learned to prioritize consumer expectations.
