It was a really fun feeling that I have not\u00a0experienced in quite some time. Let\u2019s just say it felt really great.<\/p>\n<p>The course was challenging for me, as I had no background in design or Photoshop, but I managed to\u00a0push through and learn a lot. Some evenings I questioned my decision to put myself back in school, but I\u00a0kept reminding myself of that feeling I knew I would have at the end of the course. Keep going, don\u2019t\u00a0give up, and ask for help was what I kept saying to myself.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4110\" style=\"width: 271px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brainstation.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-21-at-10.40.27-AM.png\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4110\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4110 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/brainstation.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-21-at-10.40.27-AM-261x300.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-03-21 at 10.40.27 AM\" width=\"261\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2re7sjnpekmig.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-21-at-10.40.27-AM-261x300.png 261w, https:\/\/d2re7sjnpekmig.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-21-at-10.40.27-AM.png 514w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Excited about completing UI Design at BrainStation!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Here is a summary of my BrainStation experience!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I Learned<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A LOT!<\/li>\n<li>How to create together a UI Library and Moodboard<\/li>\n<li>Where to find design inspiration; our teachers had all of the best resources to share with us, as\u00a0experts in their field<\/li>\n<li>Designing pages for a mobile app and desktop<\/li>\n<li>Creating wordmarks, typefaces and buttons<\/li>\n<li>Prototyping our designs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How it was Taking a BrainStation Course<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Really fun, and enriching<\/li>\n<li>I loved taking advantage of the facilities; the classrooms, hanging out at Quantum coffee shop,\u00a0and the use of their kitchen facility so that I could have dinner before class<\/li>\n<li>It was great to connect with fellow students and learn about their reasoning for taking the\u00a0course<\/li>\n<li>I always looked forward to spending Tuesday evening in such an inspiring atmosphere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Next<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take some time to digest everything I just learned!<\/li>\n<li>Keep practicing so that I don\u2019t ever lose my newly acquired skills<\/li>\n<li>Continue to attend the evening events, workshops and lunch and learns that are offered<\/li>\n<li>Get ready to enroll in my next class!
