Written Reflection

When I draw user flow sketches, I would like to ensure that each step can correspond to the expectations of the target users and that the content included is what they need when using the website. Each page can connect to the user's goals and logical steps. For storing and publishing in the community user's dream journal, I realized that there needs to be a private or public option, rather than directly storing and publishing.

Since I didn't explore tight pencil sketches last time, I explored more this time and tried diverse and various versions of logo possibilities. I kept all the progress of playing with different graphics' directions. sometimes I feel like the third or fourth version is better than the first one. And I tested the color setting of the logo, I originally wanted to combine different colors on one logo, but it seems not concise enough. So maybe the color can be consistent, and theme colors of logo can be changed on different color backgrounds.

For the legibility of body content, I would like to see a comparison between serif and sans-serif fonts. Currently, for these four fonts, sans-serif font, Omnes, is more suitable as headers or subheads, and serif fonts are more readable.
