Here are some of prompts that you can use as your design project. After picking an idea, you need to fill up a Design Brief by the start of Week 2 (July 13th, 2020). The Design Brief will have many guiding questions to help you scope your project and help you create a plan of attack on the project for the next 8 weeks.

If you have a personal project you wish to take on instead, we'd be happy to chat with you to work through how we can find the right scope for it to fit in the 8 weeks of Applied 2020.

Design an experience on Dribbble to allow designers to share work-in-progress projects to gather critique and feedback from other designers.

Explore how Skillshare can encourage members to complete the full courses.

Since it will be hard to show success without data, you will need to obtain qualitative proof for your designs!
