Proposal & Prototype:
I chose to use Miro because it offers a more convenient and efficient
solution for my needs. Miro provides a versatile and user-friendly platform
that allows me to collaborate, brainstorm, and organize my ideas seamlessly.
Its interactive whiteboard feature enables me to visually map out my
thoughts, making it easier to visualize complex concepts and streamline my
creative process. Additionally, Miro's real-time collaboration capabilities
enable effective teamwork, allowing me to work with others in a synchronized
manner, regardless of their location. With its array of tools and
integrations, Miro has proven to be an indispensable resource, simplifying
my workflow and enhancing productivity in various projects and tasks.
I decided to input all my information into this Google Doc to make it
easier for me to utilize and manage. Google Docs provides a convenient and
accessible platform that allows me to store, edit, and organize my data in
one centralized location.

REFLECTION
Experience:
Designing a website centred around eating disorders proved to be a
gratifying yet demanding endeavour during my time as a design student. It
provided a unique opportunity to delve into the realm of mental health and
create a platform offering vital information, resources, and support for
individuals aiming to enhance their mental well-being. A particular strength
of this project was the consistent visual design, thoughtfully tailored to
align with the preferences and needs of the target audience. By carefully
selecting a colour scheme associated with mental health, I was able to evoke
feelings of tranquillity and optimism. Furthermore, the incorporation of
multimedia elements like images, videos, and audio played a crucial role in
elevating the overall user experience and enhancing content engagement.
However, I encountered challenges while striking the right balance when
addressing the sensitive topic of loneliness. My aim was to present
empathetic and supportive content without diminishing the experiences of
those facing loneliness. Additionally, maintaining a harmonious blend of
in-depth information and readability posed another hurdle, as I sought to
provide valuable insights while presenting the content in a concise and
easily understandable manner.
