Vocab App
The Assignment
Design an application that helps users learn a new language.
User Flows
I started by creating user flows for two interactions: signing up for an account and playing a game. These flows outlined the different aspects that would need to be included in the final designs.
Personas
Next I created personas to help determine what specific features might be desirable for potential users and to help maintain a focus on the end user.
Low Fidelity Wireframes
I started the wireframing process with simple sketches to outline the two processes determined by the user flows above. These simple wireframes helped determine if there were any missing pieces in the flow and guided future design iterations.
Usability Testing
I planned for usability testing in preparation for further iterations of the design. Using the simple designs above and a prototyping application, I tested the design with a small group of potential users and recorded their feedback, along with recommendations for improvements in the usability test report.
Prototyping
Using new designs created based on the above feedback, I created a clickable prototype for further user testing.
