Exercises & Process
All student exercises are documented in the workshop’s Are.na Channel here.
Exercise #1: Interface Annotations
- Pick 3 websites that you interact with on a daily/weekly basis & pick 3 websites from the Web Design Museum or from the Internet Explorers Are.na Channel
- Open up a dictionary app. I love IoS Dictionary app and often use the thesaurus feature. However, you are free to use other ones.
- Open Figma & paste the screenshots into Figma.
- Read the interface carefully.
- Annotate the interface.
Exercise #2: Layer Statements for Living
- Open Figma
- Go to the Layers Panel & find your Workspace
- Question to Self: Did you rename your layers?! ?!!! o.O
- Take a screenshot of your layers panel section. Save the screenshot as “Figma_LayersPanel_FirstName”
- Steph will separate you into breakout rooms.
- With your peers, each of you will co-write a statement for living in the interface. You will fill in the statements using the most-liked/favorited words that were chosen in the voting round from the Layers screenshot.
- Fill in this statement:
_________ for _______ in the Interface
Here is the statement with placeholders:
MostFavoritedActionVerb for NounOfYourChoice in the Interface
Have fun with it! (We will share your Statements for Living in the group. As a group, we will then begin to typeset the statements on Figma. This step will lead us to thinking about visualizing our interactions for our Dictionary Prototype.)
