This week was design presentation week. We got feedback on our presentation and it was overall very positive. It seems that the scope and design of our projects seems achievable according to the feedback we got from our peers. In addition to this, I have begun researching how to create the user interface for the mirror. Since I am new to figma, it is taking me some time to learn how to design using figma. I am also researching into how we should do the UI and decide if we should do a web page or just a user interface platform using pkinter.

The design presentation is due on Sunday so we worked mainly on creating and polishing the presentation. We divided up the slides so I focused on the User Interface, system specification, and implementation plan slides. I used figma for the first time to build a simple user interface. I used a pre-existing template and edited it to how the UI for the mirror should look. For system specification, I looked up all of the hardware we were considering purchasing and I looked at the price and specifications of each and totaled the price on the slide. For implementation plan, I looked at how we wanted the different components of the mirror to interact with each other. On Wednesday, during class time we met again to polish the slides we had each written and asked our TA to review and give us feedback. Then we submitted orders for each of our parts so hopefully we will get them by next week and we can start assembling.

I presented our project proposal on Wednesday. I read through the feedback my peers had given me to take into account for our next two presentations and my future presentations. Now we are looking more into the design of our project because we are now beginning the design phase of our project.

I will be presenting the proposal presentation next week, so this week I worked on creating the slides and practicing the presentation. As a team, we worked together to outline the slides and divided up the slides to work on individually. I worked on creating the team schedule and also dividing up the work among us. I used excel to create a gantt chart, then as a team we divided up the tasks.
