<aside> 🦸🏻 Criticism is easy. It seems like everybody has an opinion, but, as the author Harlan Ellison points out, “You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion.” To become informed, though, requires exploration. Design critiques are an important part of any product exploration. A design critique — where the creator discusses and explains the creation with the rest of the team and/or client — is not about badgering the designer or pushing them to justify every decision they made. That’s just criticism. A good design critique is meant to explore the design, find where it is working and where it could be improved.
Your task is to present a short design critique, of about 500 words, stating at least 5 bad design examples and 5 things you like, from the mobile application of Airbnb, a platform that allows people to rent out their homes, apartments, or rooms to travelers, providing an alternative to traditional hotel accommodations.

<aside> 🦸🏻 Your task is to Redesign the logo for Twitch, a live streaming platform that primarily focuses on video game streaming. The current Twitch logo has been in use since 2011 and has become synonymous with the brand. However, as the platform has evolved, the current logo may no longer accurately represent Twitch's identity or purpose. Your goal is to create a new logo that captures the essence of Twitch in a modern and memorable way.
Design a new logo and document the reasoning behind your creation.

<aside> 🦸🏻 Comic conventions are events where fans of comic books, movies, TV shows, and other forms of popular culture gather to celebrate their interests. These events typically feature panels with creators, actors, and other industry professionals, as well as opportunities to buy merchandise, get autographs, and take photos. Comic conventions may also include cosplay contests, gaming areas, and other activities.
Consider the situation, a Comic Convention is being organised inside our campus. It is scheduled to take place on 29th and 30th of March, both being a whole day event from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm. The event will be open to everyone, irrespective of whether they are from IITR or not. People would have to purchase passes beforehand from a website.
Design a poster for this Comic Convention so as to attract maximum public for the event.

Choose either one of the problem statements for the UI/UX exercise:
<aside> 🛠 Whenever we try to go somewhere inside the campus as well as outside, using E-Rickshaws is the primary mode of transport.
Booking an E-Rickshaw inside the IITR Campus can be a hassle for students and faculty members. There is no centralized system that allows users to easily book a ride, and the current process requires users to either make a phone call or physically wait for an E-Rickshaw to show up. This can result in long wait times and wasted effort.
Design a solution for managing and using the services of E-Rickshaws inside the IITR Campus. Try and make the process effortless and as intuitive as possible.

<aside> 🛠 Pet owners often struggle to find a reliable and convenient pet grooming service. They need a service that allows them to easily schedule appointments, track their pet's grooming history, and receive notifications about upcoming appointments and special offers.
Existing pet grooming services often require customers to call or visit the location to schedule appointments, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.
Thus, design a solution for a pet grooming service where they can easily schedule appointments and get all the grooming needs of their pet sorted in one place.
