      <description>&lt;p&gt;This week I focused on design and structure. Using Figma, I created the first wireframes for Event Hub 2025.&lt;br&gt;
The design goals were simplicity, responsiveness, and clarity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key decisions:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Home page with event cards and filters&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Detail pages with event info and images&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Profile dashboard for managing events&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I researched UI inspiration from Dribbble and Behance, analyzing how modern event apps present data.&lt;br&gt;
This step helped me visualize how users will interact with the app. Next week, I’ll move to implementation using Next.js and TailwindCSS.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;This week marked the official start of my project journey — Event Hub 2025. I wanted to create something meaningful that solves a real-world problem.&lt;br&gt;
The idea came from observing how scattered event information is across platforms — especially for tech and community events.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I started by clearly defining the project goals, target users, and core features:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Discover upcoming events easily&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Allow organizers to create and manage events&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enable ticket reservations and image uploads&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also created a Trello board for weekly milestones and opened a GitHub repository to track commits from the start.&lt;br&gt;
This week’s main outcome was project planning and motivation building. I now have a clear roadmap ahead!&lt;/p&gt;
