[x] User Empathy: You understand what user empathy is, and can use it to understand a classmate's needs and help them plan a home page.
[x] Design Cycle: You will be able to describe the design cycle and what steps you will take in each state (Empathize, define, ideate, prototype, testing and implement).
[x] Double Diamond: You can separate the design and deliver phases of a project. Design and delivery are a never-ending cycle, but it helps to be clear when you are focusing one or the other.
[x] Stakeholder Interviews: You can interview another student to learn their motivations, needs, and blocks
[x] Rapid Prototyping: You can use rapid prototyping techniques (such as paper prototyping) to test initial design hypotheses and receive user feedback.
[x] User Journeys: You can write user journeys for websites that you use.
2. Gestalt Principles
[x] Design Principles: You can apply some of the key design principles to your own site, such as alignment, proximity, contrast, balance and space.
[x] Figma: You can create, share and collaborate on a website design using Figma.
4. Accessibility
[x] Accessible Design: You will be able to make a website design more accessible.
