Lo-Fi Wireframes
Challenge Addressed:
-
For this homepage, the stakeholders wanted to see a narrative scroll design that would really tell the story of the product.
-
Strategized feature / content prioritization.
Style Guide
Challenge Addressed:
-
Originally our process did not include a style guide so I spearheaded the production of one so our team could have a reference for how to design out the components.
-
Took the initial static designs from the visual design firm Ogilvy and added interactions.
-
Enhanced the readibility and accessibility of our UI components.
-
Buttons were at least above a minimum standard for touch screens.
-
Font and background had enough contrast, especially since most of our users are older.
-
Responsive Design:
MOBILE
Challenge Addressed:
-
As the width shrinks, business and design decisions have to be made as to what is the most important information since that will be read top down.
-
We designed desktop first, then tablet, and then mobile. I recommend doing it in the opporsite order and using a "Mobile First" strategy. That way those decisions about what is most important will carry over to the wider interfaces and improve the heirarchy.

Accessibility
-
Our product is an anti-aging skin care line which means that we have to consider accessbility guidelines for our target user, an older segment of the population.
-
I researched and implemented techniques such as using a minimum font of 16px and touchscreen areas of at leaste 44 px wide or tall.
Using Conditionals
-
I implemented conditional statements through Axure to generate a robust prototype.

I built this clickable prototype with Axure, a more complicated, yet robust prototyping tool
