Process

Plan of Action: Design an environment that helps people focus on their work to be done.

User Map

Figuring out how the user will move through the app keeping in mind key features and solutions to problems from our research. It basically shows where a user can go starting at the login screen.

Initial Wireframe and Prototype

Low-fidelity wireframes. It helps us figure out a quick layout of the product. We'll do this to all of the product screens, but here is just an example of couple of them.

When the wireframe is all done, I can make a prototype to show the flow of the product.

Color and Inspiration

The goal of this product is to create a headspace of attentiveness and stimulation. I chose to go with teal as my main color because it combines the calmness and inspiration of the blues and the serenity and satisfaction in the greens.

Initial Designs

After getting the main layout done, making the high-fidelity wireframes are probably my best part. This brings the color and life to my wireframes.

User Testing

At this point, I can get feedback by testing on components. I'll exemplify doing research on the settings component. I'll outline the dates of the experiment, what I'm testing and what I hope to gain.

I'll detail who and how I'll find participants and what questions I would want to be answered from this.

Questions like:

  • How can users access the settings options easily?
  • How often does a user visit the settings pages?
  • Which setting layout design do users use more?
  • Are users satisfied with the options and setting location?
  • As a college student, I want to organize my schoolwork, work schedule, and friends, so that I am not stressed and cramming everything at the last minute.

    Final Design

    At this phase, we'll do our last research with people who will receive the final version of the app. Note the patterns and themes we're seeing within all the results gathered. We go through the product one last time for adjustments.
