Takeaway
收获
This is my first independently completed UX project and my undergraduate graduation project. This project has received great acclaim at the Atlantic School of Design in Nantes, France. I learned to use Sketch and Ink Knife, use a complete video to show the design, and use AE and PR to edit the video. Of course, there are still shortcomings. The implementation conditions and technical difficulties of landing are not considered. In essence, it is still a conceptual creative design.
这是我第一个独立完成的UX项目，也是我的本科毕业设计。这个项目在法国南特大西洋设计学院收获了很大的赞誉。我学会了使用Sketch、墨刀，用完整的视频展示设计方案，使用AE、PR对视频进行编辑。当然仍有不足的地方，没有考虑落地的实施性条件，以及技术难题，本质上仍属于概念性创意设计。
