Platforms like Pinterest and Behance were instrumental in helping me gather ideas and visualize the overall aesthetic and functionality I wanted for my app redesign. This step was crucial in shaping my initial direction and sparking creativity for the design process. Given my limited experience with Figma, I dedicated time to watching several Figma tutorials. These tutorials were invaluable in familiarizing myself with the software’s interface and tools. By improving my understanding of Figma, I aimed to streamline my workflow and make the design process smoother. This preparation laid the groundwork for a more efficient and confident approach to creating my app prototype....

Week 5 - Week 9 IAN CHOO XIN ZHE / 0369451 Application Design 1 / Bachelor of Design (Honours) in Creative Media INSTRUCTIONS Project 2: UI/UX Design Document After finalizing their app concept and design idea, students are now prepared to transition to the UX design phase. This next step requires them to create a detailed UX design document, which will serve as a guide for structuring and designing the app effectively. The document aims to consolidate the information gathered from the initial research, providing a foundation for developing a user-centric interface. Using insights from the research in Task 1, students will begin by identifying and validating their target audiences to ensure that the app aligns with users’ needs and preferences. They will then focus on organizing the app's content by employing the card sorting method, a process designed to help es...

Students are tasked with selecting an app that presents poor user experience or interface design and proposing improvements. The app choice requires approval from the module coordinator.  The project involves conducting research to understand user needs and identify key features for the redesign. This proposal will determine whether the concept is strong enough to move into development. Throughout the assignment, students are encouraged to refine their ideas by gathering feedback from peers and the module coordinator, making this an iterative process. ...
