Since 1994
Yay! I’m happy with this template since it’s nice & simple and has a gold accent (the pink is my idea since my header has pink background haha). This also looks cleaner than the previous template hehe 😀
I hope this new template makes reading experience better 😀
See you on the next post!
I want to write about UX and this is just baby steps. I hope I can get better in writing. For now, it just several points about the video I watched yesterday. It’s nice and concise 🙂
Several points from this video:
This header change is unplanned hehe. I was bored at the time then I decided to play with photoshop brushes. Found some good brushes and tried to make something. And here it is

This started from the MJ logo I created before for the 99designs contest. I used the leaves and font and created this logo. I am happy with the result 😀
I tried to join a design contest in 99designs some weeks ago. The contest brief was this:
MJ
Target audience: mostly females,
Product: beauty product (exfoliating wash cloth and bath bombs for now) I would like a design I can use for various beauty products
Cosmetics & Beauty
Based on the brief, I created two logos:
I didn’t win this contest, but I got 3 stars for each design. I think it’s a good start haha.
I created this logo for a 99designs contest.
I didn’t won haha but that’s ok since it’s my first attempt 😀
Some important points from article I read Celebrating Design Without Contending With It (http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/celebrating-design-without-contending-with-it)
Maybe the phenomenon of the “dumb” yet successful, familiar in many fields, applies equally in design.
…
Design (they are forever pointing out) is not merely an exercise in superficial aesthetics or styling, as the public may assume. It is, rather, a far more serious matter of problem-solving and experience-shaping, driven by a uniquely rigorous approach to the human-made world in all its dimensions.
…
how the design of any given space “really affects how we feel, how we behave”
…
“Design is not just a visual thing. It’s a thought process. It’s a skill. Ultimately, design is a tool to enhance our humanity. It’s a frame for life.”
Well, see you on next post. Cheers! 🍹

Yes, as you have read on the title, Adobe XD finally arrived for windows device 🎉🎉🎉 I was browsing this morning when I stumbled on something about this awaited software (which actually has arrived 2 days ago *cmiiw).
Wait no more (fortunately I have finished my task), I went to Adobe XD page and downloaded it right away and did my first trial. Well, the installation process was quite fast and the app is light in my laptop. The software interface is so simple, which is nice since the canvas will be filled with many elements of app design. At first, I was a bit confused about how to use it, but thanks to YouTube, I could learn how to use it quickly.
Here’s the YouTube video which helped me to use it~
Thank you~
I was excited and so happy, I made my first wireframe with this app and also try the interactive prototype 😆😆😆
Yaaay!!! Can’t wait to explore this app 😆😆😆
