Throughout four weeks, I worked to create logo designs, UI elements, and high-fidelity mockups for Nishikigoi, a koi fish-focused app. By learning about various components of graphic design such as typography, gestalt principles, and interaction design, we practiced them in photoshop and illustrator each week to build up a final version. We went step-by-step through the design process, revealing the complexity of each one.

By starting with a logo design to understand the color harmony, sizing, and typeface style, it created a smoother design process overall. These steps revealed how one grows on the other, and many mistakes can be made if something is skipped. I then created the styleguide and UI pack, focusing on consistent themes from the logo creation. Finally, when all elements were built, I combined all aspects of the project to create high-fidelity mockups, incorporating all the factors of the design into one. Overall, I learned a lot about graphic design through this project, and have gained experience on Photoshop and Illustrator to develop these skills in my own way.
