Reflection

Reflect on making this project. What did you learn? What would you do differently? Did you get where you wanted to? If not, why not? What do you need to get there, etc?

  From the making of this project, I learned that it’s important to first get the basic ground work established before worrying about the added details and smaller features of the prototype. In the beginning, I was focused on little things like finding photos and playing with image size. But I realized this wasn’t very efficient, and then got to work on the basic framework. So, I used a placeholder image first. Then after I got the basic groundwork in place, I turned to visuals and details to enhance the project. In addition, I realized how important it was to have a solid concept in mind as I was coding the interface because it really helped guide how I was going to structure and organize my code knowing what I wanted. To expand on my current project, I want to incorporate the date in which a photo was taken. This was not achieved due to difficulty and time constraints. I would need to do further research on how to access a photo's metadata to integrate date into determining how much a photo fades over time.
