It's Thursday.
- Hello
- Teach an Old Person.

- Lets talk about user testing findings!
DUE Tuesday Style / Skin your prototype. Make it yours while working within the allowances of the system. What features/functions are left to build out? What needs to be BETTER? What do you want to improve from your testing?
Some tools you've got to work with for styling: all of the DaisyUI basic configuration chnages (colors, radiuses, sizes, fonts, etc), and then you can take them farther: how could backgrounds / imagery / illustrations / spacing change these? What else could you do to make it look NOT designed-by-default?
Be ready for final crit on this project Tuesday April 7!
