What - Prompt: Design a Home Monitoring Dashboard
Why - Today’s challenge was to design a home monitoring dashboard that I would use myself. After moodboarding from Behance and Dribbble I gathered a few ideas that I liked. Ideas include having the internal temp be a big component and having an appliance section with all the lights I use daily like kitchen, and bedroom lights and appliances like TV or lamps. I also like to have music playing as I’m cooking or cleaning around my place, so having a Bluetooth component was also a nice feature. Rather than keeping it super simple by using a white background and one color, I opted for two tones with the components and the background of the app while using just a hint of yellow to accent the app. The hint of yellow is aesthetically pleasing but also serves a usual function that grabs the user’s attention and is easy to find quickly to turn of appliances without having to look too consciously.
