As I am starting to enhance my app design, I am beginning to realize that I may not finish the design over break considering I am a bit of a perfectionist in regards to my designs. Ideally, I would like for some 3D modeling and animation to be incorporated into the design of this app, however, since I cannot get that to happen, I am going to have to settle. And I am not a fan of settling when it comes to design.
When I first started sketching out the designs I wanted for this app, I had many layouts planned that involved 3D modeling or smooth transitions of some sort. Though naturally, as I tend to do, I ended up dreaming a tad too high and now I am running into the issue of not being happy with my designs I have and having to redesign it over and over and over again. Right now, I am conflicted because I know that there is not a whole lot I am going to be able to do to get the app to a state that I would like it to be in by the time coding starts.
So, my main task at the moment is to figure out how to create a design within my skill range and materials (aka the amount of design room I have in Figma as well as the amount of knowledge I have with the program) that satisfies my needs. And given that a lot of my inspiration has come from apps like Loona and Calm, I am not sure that will happen any time soon.
Essentially, I am having to cut back on some plans at the moment and remove certain features to be able to create an app within a short period of time that also fits my standards. Though I tend to be picky when it comes to designing, I feel I can get somewhat close to achieving this goal and will have to do the majority of work over the break. Once the break is over, I should definitely have added more pages to the design and hopefully have gotten to a point that I am comfortable with.
