Just keeping the creative ball rolling here.

Sample prototype for Musikape. I have implemented one of my favourite layouts, newspaper style. Huge headlines for section titles, uniform texts for contents, breathing space for the header and outlined sections.

This layout draws the attention of visitors to the important parts of each section which will make it easier for them to navigate through.

It also incorporates an old school marquee for the "get tickets now" CTA that are spread out across the whole page.

**This is not a paid promotion (I wish) or marketing for Musikape. This is strictly a personal study.

Got bored and had too much time on my hands.

Sample website prototype for HYDRO Manila Music Festival. It incorporates their logo colours and minimalistic layout to create an informational and in-depth website for the attendees to visit and know more about the festival.

It highlights important information such as the ticket pricing, and artist lineup. An FAQ section is also available for customers who are unsure about certain aspects of the festival.

Incorporating subtle water elements and a section for merchandise are optional on this case since the goal is to create an informational website.

Undone is an accidental discovery of mine a few months ago after having to subscribe for 1 month of Amazon Prime. This show is nothing like I've seen before and I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

Check out this article from Vox that explains well why Undone is worthy of that 7-day Prime trial.

This visually stunning show is a trippy sci-fi drama and a lovely story about a woman dealing with trauma, all in one.

It's been a year since I've finished my Degree in Software Engineering 👩🏻‍🎓 I wouldn't say it was a waste of money and time, like how most successful people would call it 😇

My course taught me that I can build amazing things for myself on my own, that I can solve my daily problems by thinking systematically, and that I can create something to make my life easier.

With all this knowledge, we created a social media platform that will bring people who love books together, where they can connect with other people who share the same interest and spark a conversation about book/s they both love.

We called it Signal Reads and it is now ready for you to share your favourite books to others who might have it on their list too!

I've been busy these past few months because of our project, Signal Reads. The whole idea started because we both love reading books and we wanted to know what other people reads as well (specifically Naval).

So we came up with an idea and put it into reality in a span of nearly 2 months. Now we're ready for users and criticisms!

Creativity is best expressed when it comes naturally than when it is forced.⁣
__⁣
Everyone experiences creativity block and it's completely normal. When you try to force yourself when you are uninspired, you will most likely come up with unsatisfactory work or be demotivated to continue overall.⁣
⁣
When hit with creativity block, it is best to:⁣
⁣
❣ Rest it out⁣
❣ Look into things that you know will inspire you⁣
❣ Not force it⁣
⁣
"Forcing ourselves to ‘be creative’ is pointless. It’s not a manual skill that you either do or don’t, but a series of emotional and mental tasks that sometimes just don’t come together." - Adam J. Kurtz

Why attitude is everything? 💁🏻‍♀️⁣
-----⁣
Most people are aware of what they currently feel both physically and mentally but not a lot have a good grip on their attitude.⁣
⁣
Attitude is important because this determines how you perceive the world and how the world will perceive you. If you start building a negative attitude towards something, it will start reacting negatively to you as well.⁣
⁣
Some of the great ways to improve your attitude:⁣
⁣
❣ Don't let other people influence your attitude - try to agree less to their negativity and you'll notice their mood change too 👯🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
❣ Don't compare yourself to others - doing so too often will just result to you dragging yourself down. Focus on your own life and your attitude towards it and you'll be much happier in the process ✨⁣
⁣
All these are applicable to learning a new skill; if you have a negative attitude towards what you're trying to learn, you will have a hard time learning and digesting new information. So try these two ways to improve your attitude and watch yourself enjoy the process 👩🏻‍🏫🥰⁣

This is a practice design I made for a pretend furniture design company. I chose to go for simple yet still modern design to highlight the images and descriptions 🤓⁣

Images are an essential part of designing a website, like the old saying "a picture speaks a thousand words". That's why it is important that you have your own source of images that are royalty free 👍🏼🥳⁣
⁣
You can use some of these website that are completely free to use and has wide range of photos for most of your needs:⁣
⁣
🌟 unsplash.com⁣
🌟 pexel.com⁣
🌟 pixabay.com⁣
🌟 istockphoto.com⁣
⁣
I mostly use Unsplash and Pexel. Where do you get your photos for your prototypes? 🤔⁣

Why is programming an important skill to learn? 🤔⁣
-----⁣
Programming is not only about coding and creating something (although these are some of the methods how you can enhance your skill). Some benefits of this skill are:⁣
⁣
👉🏼 It helps you solve problems in a structured and logical way. You learn that every problem has a solution and that the best way to solve it is to have a step-by-step action 👩🏻‍🏫⁣
⁣
👉🏼 It helps you be creative in solving problems. You can approach your problems in a way that most interests you; If you are into web development, you can create a solution through a web application 👩🏻‍💻⁣
⁣
These are just two of many benefits you can get from programming that will be useful for your everyday lives. Not to mention the career opportunities 💸⁣

My previous live session was stopped by Facebook because I had a background music which was after the whole The Dark Side of the Moon album so that's great 😋🥳

I'm going to start posting time-lapse videos of my live sessions then post them here and on YouTube. I will start posting short informative videos as well regarding programming, web development, and Laravel very soon 🤓

Let me know if you have any suggestions or if there's anything you wanna learn about, I'd be more than happy to help 👩🏻‍💻💖

As a practice, I designed this page for a socks brand. I decided to go with a colorful and overlapping design to make it look quirky and fun. These boxes and squares also help highlight the important elements that needs to be noticed by the users.

Designing is an important stage before you start coding. This way, you already know your layout and arrangements 💻

You can use some of these famous FREE (with restrictions, obv) UI/UX design software to start with:

🌟 InVision Studio
https://www.invisionapp.com/studio
🌟 Figma
https://www.figma.com/downloads/
🌟 Adobe XD
https://www.adobe.com/sea/products/xd.html

These are just the same as their paid versions, the only difference is you won't be able to share your prototype to your teams (if you have any), but if you are working solo then these are definitely perfect for you 👩🏻‍💻👍🏼

I am currently using Adobe XD since I feel like the functions offered are enough for my needs. What other software would you recommend? 💖
