3 // Prototyping

Goal: Build functional models (prototypes) of interfaces for testing and validation before development.

Types:

Low-fidelity prototypes: Simple sketches or wireframes.

High-fidelity prototypes: Detailed and interactive, close to the final product.

  • Proficient in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and Framer.

  • Strong understanding of user-centered design principles.

  • Ability to conduct comprehensive user research and usability testing.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

4 // Visual and Interaction Design

Goal: Create an interface that is visually appealing and easy to use, ensuring users understand how to interact with the product.

Components:

Layout: How elements are arranged on the page.

Typography: Choice and use of fonts.

Color scheme: A palette that supports brand identity and improves usability.

Microinteractions: Small animations and feedback to make interactions more engaging and clear.

5 // Accessibility

Goal: Ensure that all users, including those with physical or cognitive limitations, can effectively use the product.

Best practices: Proper color contrast, alt text for images, keyboard navigation, and more.

6 // Usability Testing

Goal: Validate the design and identify problems before the product is released.

Methods:

Moderated testing: A facilitator guides users through tasks.

Unmoderated testing: Users interact with the product independently and report their experience.

5 // Accessibility

Goal: Ensure that all users, including those with physical or cognitive limitations, can effectively use the product.

Best practices: Proper color contrast, alt text for images, keyboard navigation, and more.
