Before I show you what I’ve been working on, check out my prototype for my previous project. Now, onto some cool stuff. A few weeks back, I showed off some comps for potential approaches to my redesign for the DC All Access app for iPad. Now, I present my designs for the main screens … More Main Screens: DC for iPad

Last week, I showed off my user research for my DC All Access iPad app redesign. This week, I prepared two sets of comps. These represent potential designs for the app. I created them for three key screens: the home page, the comics page, and the media page. My first design incorporates the comic book pattern … More Comps! DC for iPad

  A few weeks back, I unveiled my new project where I’ll be redesigning DC’s All Access app for iPad. In the time since then, I’ve conducted thorough research on the users of the app. I interviewed many users and asked them a variety of questions, including the following: What device do you use most … More User Research, DC for iPad

Last week, I showed off three comps of different design options for my mobile app redesign.  After reviewing these designs, I decided to have another go at designing them. This time, I eliminated the ‘choose a color’ option, in favor of trying out some of my own color palettes. This first example uses a color … More COMPS: Back to the Drawing Board…

Last week, I showed off my updated wireframes and information architecture for my app redesign. This week, I’ve prepared three different sets of app comps. But wait! Before I show those off, I think it’s best that I review everything I’ve created thus far. Some of my previous materials have received updates since last week. … More UPDATE: Comps & Updated Materials

Last week, I drew up some quick sketches to get a sense of the layout of my apps screens. I updated the information architecture (above). With this, I gained a better understanding of my app’s layout. I then created digital wireframes: These wireframes serve to illustrate the general layout of the content for each app … More UPDATE: Info_Arch, Wireframes

I recently updated my user personas. After doing so, I began to research the layout for my app redesign. First, I did a quick sketch of the information architecture for my app (above). This helped me establish the key screens and content for my app. Following the information architecture, I did some quick sketches of … More RESEARCH: Info_Arch and Wireframes

Last week, I created three personas to illustrate my audience for my app redesign. And while those personas did help me to illustrate my user research, they were ultimately lacking in content. Furthermore, the content that was included in them was ultimately considered to be “fluff content,” meaning it worked as padding, but was ultimately … More UPDATE: Personas, Refined

In preparation for my redesign of the Today in History app, I interviewed three different users that fit within the general audience range of the app. I asked them the following questions as I watched them use the app: How interested and/or passionate are you about history (casual, moderate, hardcore)? Per week, how many times … More USER STUDY: Today in History

I’d consider myself a casual history buff. You’ll never catch me nose deep in a history book, but I’d be lying if I said I have no interest in history whatsoever. While scouring the Google Play Store, I came across this app: For someone like me, this seemed like a fun, simple app that could … More RESEARCH: Redesigning Today in History
