Haneefa : UX/UI Design, 2 weeks

[Haneefa-Shaik]

My prototype My repo My Interview file

Learning Objectives

1. Design Thinking

• [x] 🥚 User Empathy: You understand what user empathy is, and can use it to understand a classmate's needs and help them plan a home page.
• [x] 🥚 Design Cycle: You will be able to describe the design cycle and what steps you will take in each state (Empathize, define, ideate, prototype, testing and implement).
• [x] 🥚 Double Diamond: You can separate the design and deliver phases of a project. Design and delivery are a never-ending cycle, but it helps to be clear when you are focusing one or the other.
• [x] 🥚 Stakeholder Interviews: You can interview another student to learn their motivations, needs, and blocks
• [x] 🥚 Rapid Prototyping: You can use rapid prototyping techniques (such as paper prototyping) to test initial design hypotheses and receive user feedback.
• [x] 🥚 User Journeys: You can write user journeys for websites that you use.

Week 1

I Need Help With:

I understand that Prototyping is a crucial step in the UI design process. I designed using a pencil on paper. I am just curious to know how they test the ideas before they are fully developed.

What went well?

1. I have seen related videos and information and understood the basics of UI/Ux design.
2. Learned prototyping on paper.
3. I got feedback from carme for my work and the links she provided very really helpful.

What went less well?

As like before projects, I didn't spend more time on videos , but watching a few videos given a basic knowledge

Lessons Learned

Should focus on user experience. It's the extremely powerful art of creating visually pleasing, highly intuitive user experiences.

Sunday Prep Work

Started watching Figma videos and going through the next week's study plan.

I am just curious to know how they test the ideas before they are fully developed.

@Haneefa-Shaik this is an excellent question and we should raise it on Sunday with the coach as well. as far as I know, there are two main ways for any testing: qualitative and quantitative. The first meaning that you have a smaller amount of people responding in greater depth to your proposition/question/design for example through a long interview. Quantitative would mean that a large number of people respond, for example through an online questionnaire.

@danielhalasz Thank you for the information and as you suggested, we have to raise the question in the class and get to know about their experience too.

Week 2

I Need Help With:

Figma is super simple to get started, but it is packed with tons of features and I used only the important features as I needed. The only thing that frustrated me was not being able to see font previews before using them, because we have to click into the text to change it and preview it. Otherwise, the materials were quite enough to know about the concepts.

What went well?

1. Interview and the follow-up interview went well.
2. It was good when you get to know about the changes from the feedback of the stakeholder and put effort into changing them.
3. The interview questions prepared by me, were really helpful in understanding the needs.

What went less well?

Spent time little bit less on the videos and study material.

Lessons Learned

• Stakeholder interviews are critical to the success of a project.
• Figma is easier to structure our designs, which reflects how those designs will be coded.

Sunday Prep Work

Going through the study material. Preparation started for JS.
