Challenges

One of the main challenges was creating an interface that felt engaging but remained simple and easy to use. I also had to find an intuitive way for users to explore different holidays without making the experience feel cluttered. Making the design visually appealing and accessible was a key priority throughout the process.

Research & Inspiration

I looked at existing calendar and event apps to understand how they present information and engage users. I explored different UI patterns for holiday and event tracking, focusing on how to make the experience both fun and user-friendly. Accessibility and playful design elements were central to my inspiration.

Accessibility Considerations

To support accessibility, I used high color contrast for better readability, clear and legible typography, and generous spacing. I also focused on creating intuitive navigation so users of all abilities could easily interact with the app.
