Hi,
For this week, I will be working on 3(or more) issues for 2 projects:
1) Designing the logo for the photohub project.
2) Enhancing the UI for the novel project
Issue #1
In the issue I started talking with project maintainers and listened to their preferences.
Understanding what client wants ✍
Firstly, before designing a logo, I need to understand what kind of project developers are working on. After that, I need to think of the audience (people who will visit the website).
Hence, I need to think of the colors that would match the audience. For searching the best color match I will use color pallete from Canva.
There, I can see what colors work together.
It's crucial not to fail here No matter how your logo is creative, if you find a great match, it's half work done.
Software to use 🖥️
I will use Adobe photoshop for creating a logo.
Project # 2
For second project, I will take multiple issues from the project and improve the UI. Also, I might work on the backend as well, if the contributor will allow me to do that.
For now I'm assigned for a couple of issues: Issue#1, Issue#2.
I'm waiting for project maintainer to create a guidance to run the project locally.
More improvements 🔥
There are a lot of ideas how to improve the website from the UI perspective. Since, I have some experience in web design, I might be useful.
I will file more issues, that I think could make a project look more appealing later.
Floating labels 🔥
For example, let's consider making floating labels on the input. I think you saw something like that before.
When we click on input, the placeholder moves above the input smoothly and creates great UX.
Appealing modal window 🔥
When not logged in user clicks on create a story button, he sees the regular alert:
This could also be improved. First, I would design a modal window in Figma and then create one.
I will be working on these projects for the following 2 weeks. I will make a new post regarding the progress and potential issues that could reveal đź’Ż
Have a wonderful day and let's keep up!
