Phases
- Desk Research, Field Research, Findings
Research of existing Applications. What does already exist? Analysis and testing of the found examples. Questioning and Observation of WG-Residents. Understanding their motivation and behavior. Identification of usage-patterns. Photographic documentation. Definition of a problem and collection of user-needs. - Personas
Definition of five WG-Residents and their stories. - Brainstorming, Mind Mapping, Sketching, etc.
Take one or more of the above methods to rethink the scenario. Be "wild" and come back with innovative and striking solutions of which you hadn't thought of before. - Wireframe Screen Flow Diagram, Mood board
Draw individual screen wireframes that are connected with each other to show the flow in your application. Traditionally, the mood board is a big collage consisting of photos, apps, texts, illustrations and other materials that show the look and feel. The mood board shows links between the things and supports the imagination of new ways. - Design GUI
Using the mood board, a skin for the application is developed. Software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Adobe XD, etc. - Click-Dummy
A clickable mockup of the final UI. Software: Framer, Origami, Invision, Principle, Flinto, Adobe XD, etc. - User-test
The click dummy is tested with three test users that solve a typical exercise. They are filmed and asked to think aloud while using the app. - Prototyping
Implementation of the final application in HTML, CSS, and JS in order to deliver a functional prototype.
