I had fun learning KiCAD last weekend. After 2 days of fun learning, I thought I should transfer my digital clock project to a nice pcb. I asked myself why do I need a gorgeous pcb? And here are the answers to my questions:
1. I want to get rid of the mess on my work table.
2. The hardware can be temporarily freeze to its current version. I still have plans of adding more features on the hardware side.
3. I want to check how it will look like in a professionaly designed and fabricated pcb.
4. I want to concentrate in creating a better firmware.
With the above mentioned reasons, I was able to convinced and motivate myself to create the pcb. As of today, I am done with the initial design and here is the initial render:

The pcb I created is basically an arduino uno shield that can be used as a tool for learning and getting familiarized with the programming language of arduino. This really perfect for beginners and can still be appreciated by the experts.
Thanks for your valuable information. It really gives me an insight on this topic. I'll visit here again for more information.
