User Research
-
For the research on this project, I interviewed a few users to see if the UI was legible, friendly to accessibility standards, and had a natural user flow to it.
-
Moderated, a casual user study with four users.
-
Users felt that the user flow was natural and easy to understand, but also saw most of the UI as too large or very similar to a mobile design. This feedback was implemented in the final mock-ups and further iterated in a second pass as the design.
Accessibility
I tried to make sure all of the text was accessibility friendly while still being a reasonable size for a webpage.
Project Takeaways
This project taught me a lot of about my limits a designer, in fact, I reiterated most of the designs after realizing I wasn’t happy with how they came out, you can look at the comparison below. The key takeaways from this project were that design and improvement never stop. Feedback is always relevant, and my own feedback ended up making this a project I was far happier with.
