Challenge
Design a calculator. Standard, scientific, or specialty calculator for something such as a mortgage? Is it for a phone, a tablet, a web app?
Time Limit
< 45 minutes
Personal Goals
- Don’t re-invent the wheel.
- Shorter time limit (<45 minutes)
Key Takeaways
This challenge was a great opportunity to practice designing something that requires mustering up motivation, because who among us gets excited about a calculator? It just brings back flashbacks of middle school, and nobody wants that.
So, I used this as a test to see how quickly I could produce a design without making it a bigger deal than it needed to be. This one didn’t require much creativity, but attention to detail and a race against the clock. I probably spent the most time looking for a decent background image on Unsplash than any other element.
I love any opportunity to include glassmorphism. For a quick turnaround, I’m fairly pleased.
