Phases

Explore 

The explore phase helps us to get to know the user and to grasp his needs, preferences and decision-making principles. Only when we know our user well and have really understood his problems, we can develop an idea and later a product that convinces and excites him.

• Desk Research, Field research, Interviews, extremely users interviews 
  
  

Create

• 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: Flinto, Framer, Origami, Invision, Principle, Flinto, Adobe XD, etc.
  
  

Evaluate

• 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.
