Outcome
Takeaways
This project I experimented with card elements as a primary layout. Cards are efficient UX elements
as they section of content through the laws of proximity, common region and similarity.
I also aimed to try and keep elements from the original design, primarily keeping pages and the
availability feature. These features help reduce user pain points.
