Prototyping & Usability Testing
After properly prototyping my designs, I was able to conduct 5 usability studies with users from various demographics. This helped me get a different perspective on my design and generate a list of pain points the user experienced. After analyzing the issues I was able to, further strengthen my designs and change my mockups.
In conclusion
After completing this project for my UX Design course (through Coursera), I feel confident that the user will have an enjoyable experience while using the app. Here are some bigger takeaways and challenges.
Win: Focus on user and research
The initial research process was very time-consuming, however, I’m very happy with my findings and I’m glad that I put a lot of detail into it. It helped me understand the user and where the app can bring the most value.
Challenge: Brand identity
My biggest challenge grew from not having a solidified brand for the app while doing the app designing. Although designing was exciting, I was very stuck on the colors for a long time, even changing them towards the very end of the design process because I wasn’t fully satisfied. I think I would thrive in a project with an established brand identity because I can tinker around with the design for what feels like an eternity.
