At first, I had the idea that I wanted a neon light themed UI to stay true to my 80's HK aesthetic dreams. I didn't quite understand how to do it (as you can see from the bold pink outline lol), but I managed to find a tutorial that helped me improve the look. I was also going to have a very bright and cute colour scheme, but a webdev friend of mine mentioned that the purple buttons were way too dark for those pastel colours. She was right! When I made the pink and blue darker, the UI looked a lot more polished.
Having friends to help you along the way is honestly such a blessing!
