Task 1: App Design 1 Self-Evaluation and Reflection
In our Application Design 1 course, we were tasked with writing a blog post that involved a thorough self-evaluation and reflection on the final project we completed. This exercise was designed to help us document and analyze the issues, challenges, and difficulties we encountered during the mobile app design process, and to propose solutions for improving the app’s aesthetic and user flow.
Mobile app design is inherently iterative, requiring continuous refinement and enhancement. This reflective task aimed to aware of the ongoing nature of improvements in app design, emphasizing that perfection is a moving target and that user feedback and self-assessment are critical to this process. To facilitate constructive feedback, we were required to submit their self-evaluation and reflection documentation via Google Docs. This platform was chosen for its ease of commenting, allowing the module coordinator to provide detailed feedback directly within the document.
Previously, there were a total of 4 tasks for my Application Design 1 module course. Here is a review of my blog post on Application Design 1.

TASK 2: App Design II Interaction Design Planning & Prototyping
For Task 2, I had to make a prototype based on the redesigned design from Task 1 and plan a complete interactive animation to be used in the app using Figma Jam. I will be creating the visual parts and making sure all the user interactions and transitions worked smoothly.
First, I imported all the design pages that I needed for the animation into Figma Jam. This was important because it allowed me to have all the visuals and layouts in one place, which made it easier to organize everything. Each page showed a different screen of the apps, and having them all together helped me see the whole user experience. Next, I started connecting the pages. I used arrow lines to show the pathways and transitions a user would follow while using the app. These connections weren't random; they were carefully thought out to match the logical flow we planned during the redesign.
For each connection, I added some notes to explain what parts would be animated on each page. These notes included details like which buttons or icons would trigger animations, what kind of animation it would be (like fade-in, fade-out, Specific Animation, Buttons and Page Animation & etc), and how long each animation would last. This step was important to give a clear guide for me to put in for coding in Adobe Dreamweaver, making sure the interactive elements will be matching as for the final outcome.
So, developing the prototype and planning the interactive animation in Figma Jam involved importing all the necessary pages, connecting them with arrow lines, and adding detailed notes about the animations. This careful planning aimed to create a smooth and engaging user experience, combining the visual design with interactive elements seamlessly.
