My Time at Goodwall (Work Immersion)
April 2018
As part of my Grade 12 Curriculum, I had to work for a company for two weeks to familiarize myself on having a job. Looking back at it, it was surprising that I have discovered designing during this, and that I was able to design something while communicating with a group. Overall, it was a good learning experience and is now an interesting surprise to look back into.
The Plan
April 16, 2018
In summation, everybody in the immersion are grouped and tasked to make a prototype similar to the company's application, Goodwall. The first week is composed of exercises while the second one is focused on making the prototype. At the time, I usually design in my head, and was surprised that businesses write them down. That soon became a method I now use.
Designing a Concept
April 18, 2018
This is one of the exercises in my first week. I was made to analyze the Goodwall app's original UI and to conceptualize a better UI for it. The concept was made using Photoshop.
The Workplace

Besides my group, I get to work alongside with other people and at school. Furthermore, we were able to finish our tasks quickly within at least an hour.
My Job

The second week. My group was now making the concept. I was tasked in making the UI aesthetics for the prototype.
The Presentation

The final day, where all the groups presented their prototypes to the supervisor. During my group's presentation, we managed to present a functional UI that provides a solid experience.
