iOS widget challenge

A month ago, I saw an iOS widget design challenge calling on designers to create a series of thirty iOS widgets following different themes. One day, one widget. Concepts ranged from weather widgets to finance, virtual pets, and any useful ideas your mind could conjure.

I watched silently from time to time due to a lack of free time. It was very inspiring to see how different designers (from junior to senior) had the same task but ended up with absolutely different concepts and thinking behind them.Finally, I got inspired and decided to participate as well (only for the last week) and made a few widgets over a weekend!

It was an awesome experience — finding inspiration, diving into the technical details, and revisiting HIG guidelines. It reminded me that while product design is great, there's something truly special about UI and pure creativity 😍
