Weather App... for walkaholics!
The assignment of this project was to make a weather app and combine it with one activity. Because I personally love walking and weather is a big factor that affects walking, I decided to combine those two elements together to make an app that can enhance users' walking experience.
What are the main elements needed in this app?
The next step was to ideate what functions the app will have where I asked myself "What are the main elements needed in the app?". Using Miro, I made a mind map to brainstorm the different components that can be useful to make the best walking experience possible for users.
"Where is the visual hierarchy?" - users
From the wireframes, I designed my first set of prototypes and asked users for feedback. Users mainly mentioned that there was no visual hierarchy because they were having a hard time what to look at first.
Hello Wireframes,
I'm back again
After talking to users and realizing the need to create a visual hierarchy and add some "space" between elements, I went back to my initial wireframes to rethink my certain design choices and strived to put the user on mind most importantly.
Bringing users with fresh and new prototypes
With my second iteration of the prototype, I mainly focused on trying not to cram all information at users at once and creating space between each element to establish a visual hierarchy within the app.
When going back to the users with the second version of the prototype, users showed positive feedback to the design changes and noted how they liked the clean and organized but also informal design layout.
"Design looks much cleaner and organized"
"I see the visual hierarchy now"
"Much more easier to navigate"
