Week 3.

I really enjoy searching through Pinterest looking for this for my UX board. I have even found some that I have created myself that I found helpful from instagram. I need to find a better balance of my work and school to try and get a better mindset and get back into the flow of school again.

This week was the first attempt at critiquing a dialog box and trying to find what could be improved and identifying the issues with the dialog box. I struggled with the assignment and I am not sure why. I think maybe its because I was overthinking what was asked and was reading into it more than I needed to, or maybe it was because I just don’t think like a UX designer yet. I Still really enjoyed the assignment as it really made me think and try and dissect the dialog box and look for the issues that a user might face. Hopefully I can move forward and try and do better and help myself understand how I cam more look to find the flaws. I was frustrated that I was struggling so much with an assignment that probably have been fairly easy, but maybe it was a bit of learned helplessness from my own fault of overthinking.

Trying not to stress and worry, as it is just week 3 in my UX journey and it is a marathon and not a sprint after all. The knowledge will come as the weeks go by. I am looking forward to what week 4 brings and the knowledge I continue to gain.
