Pivot Initially, I had the idea of writing my paper on how children interact with technology and whether we can understand their interaction on a fundamental level to apply this to our own design languages. However, the more I researched, the more I found data about the negatives of tech and children, with little information…

This is probably the most important job of the project. However, I really didn’t play much of a role in it. We had a discussion about the presentation, and what we could talk about, but because the testing I did wasn’t really relevant, and prototyping really isn’t worth talking about in a sales pitch, we…

My final job for the project was polishing the Checkout page, mainly on mobile but then on desktop. The designs were mid-fidelity when they were passed over to me. I thought the prototyping wouldn’t take long because the mid-fi design looked good at a glance, but I did not realize how long it would actually…

To hell with it. Even more issues arose with the last system update. Because the team was designing so closely with each other and regularly passing work along, it created a rat king-esque mess of design. Slash and burn was the solution. I deleted the old system entirely to opt for a clearer presentation of…

In this post, I’m going to go over briefly what tests I did. Tree Jack Testing Why did I do TreeJack testing? We had a lot of things we wanted to get rid of on the About Us page, but those were just assumptions, so to validate them, I chose TreeJack testing. I’m sure there…

Welcome back to what is now becoming a saga. The initial design system I had made needed to be tweaked a little bit. A lot of team members were using text styles or weren’t using them correctly, the same with the colours. I cannot stress enough that this is a fault on my part, not…

As I was digesting the news that the only thing Virgin Wines didn’t like was the work I did (lol), I had to start thinking about what a new events page would look like. The first question was, what was the most important thing about the events page? Well, for me, it was the fact…

Mid-Fidelity Development and Style Switch for Events Virgin Wines was coming in to catch up on our designs and see where we were. To prepare for this, I spent a couple of days before creating different iterations of the poster event idea I was too married to. Gradients and Cleaner Header Gradients! Max on our…

We got back from the holidays with a burning motivation. As a group, we had another post-it note session where we discussed what the flows for each page should look like. We agreed that if it was on post-its, we would really focus on flow rather than get too caught up in the design details.…

Start of the Holidays, Start of the Fun The team was pretty satisfied with the research we had done. Hanley, one of our team members, wanted to focus on researching as that’s their career goal, so they continued researching over the holidays. There was a lot to do at this time as everyone was on…
