I sketched out what way I envisage the dashboard. I experimented with format first of all, then things like nav bar positioning. I then sketched some iterations of what I would like specific screens to look like.
<aside> ⭐ REFLECTION: I find it helpful to complete quite thorough sketching. While this is more time consuming without a doubt, it allows me to gain a very clear perspective of what I want this project to be before I even touch my laptop. Over the past year especially I have really prioritised this paper first method and perhaps taken it to an extreme, but I feel as though my ideas are strongest when formed on paper.
