2D Canvas

More obvious division between properties

Consistent with 3D World interface

Can view all properties in one interface

Slightly covers the canvas when collapsed

TOOL BAR

KEY

Icons with overlapping functions

Unecessary tools with limited usage (eg. eraser, uploading images)

Lack of categorization can create overwhelm

Removed icons with overlapping functions

Only the most essential tools on the tools bar

Categorization of tools to make learning easier

LANDING PAGE

Effective usage of space on left panel

A large logo can be mistakened as a decoration instead of a link back to homepage

Little emphasis on tokens left

Logo size obeys design norms

Clear emphasis of tokens left

Entrance to profile page
