    Hi! You seem to know a lot about organizing projects, so I have a question. I'm working on a large product with a web and mobile application. I wonder if you would put your mobile and web projects on separate pages? Or rather keep them together based on page of the app you are working on (e.g. dashboard, settings, profile). It's adaptive design so some elements may be different like dialogs on web and bottomsheet on mobile.

    Do you design the components (buttons etc.) on a separate page?

    • @AlienaCai
      @AlienaCai  Před 2 lety +1

      Good question! I actually design them in the same page so that I can see whether it fits into those screens nicely. But keeping components in a separate page could be pretty clean too. The only con being that I have different iterations of those components too. So if I think a project is still in the early design phase, I’ll just keep the component within that page to represents which iteration it belongs to.

  • @sylvanuschisom

    When working on my first project, I usually delete my old designs. So my portfolio doesn't have an iteration part, which makes me really scared.

    • @AlienaCai
      @AlienaCai  Před rokem

      Oppps, at least now you know you can simply create a page named "archive" and document your past iterations there! It's find that your first project is not the most ideal, as long as your most recent projects are better documented 👍
