The process to post a comment is 3-step process, hindering the desire to make a comment. There is no way of minimally interacting with the post. There is strong verbiage to “Download PDF” when really that button leads to people the the post-specific page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/1631464122208-86BP3TUR25R80JGTAB52/image-asset.png Projects - NRP News Redesign For this project, I taught myself Figma in order to design an interactive mock-up of what NRP News could look like. In the redesign, the navigation is much clearer to the user. They are better able to tell what page they are currently on, as well the header with the secondary NRP color promotes importance of the navigation. Next, I wanted to give precedence to the “Featured Stories.” I decided to make them into a card carousel, giving the users more incentive to click on them to get the full story. By giving the featured stories vertical precedence, I was able to make the news feed wider, taking up more of the users screen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/1631464714795-CLZ9LUMTW0RHUDOMUOXE/image-asset.png Projects - NRP News Redesign - NRP News Post Redesign In my redesign, I tackled smaller nitpicking details. I wanted to add a like button to make it easier for users to engage with company content. As well, I made the comment section more personalized, with an image and less metadata than the current version. Adding a share button was also important to the redesign as it would be easier for employees to share exciting information with each other. Finally, I grouped the metadata of the post at the top, and changed the verbiage from “Download PDF” to “Check It Out!” The word “Download” is a strong action word that is associated to computer clutter, and I did not want that word to dissuade users from clicking on the post. https://angelamyoung.com/projects/communitree monthly 0.5 2022-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/89255eb4-6d1c-4731-845d-9755401acd94/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+12.45.26+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application - User Flow Once we solidified our key features, we mapped out a user journey through the application to see how all our features could tie together in one application. We broke down our flow into 3 categories, user actions, system actions, and tentative actions. This helped us prioritize actions actively taken by the user, then system actions, and allowed us to still consider the possibility of tentative actions without solidifying them into our final application. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/8b3999d8-9622-4516-9e47-43e76987eb18/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+1.18.45+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application - Wireframes First, we transferred our paper prototype to digital screens using Figma. From there, we amplified our wireframe to include more thoughtful aesthetically pleasing choices. Once we were confident in our design, we mapped out interactions and prototyped them so users could physically interact with our screens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/ad1293cd-e29e-46a0-b0d7-9820fcfd3e90/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+1.55.33+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/75e61b8c-8b79-43ba-9218-1bd685ffa63c/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+1.53.14+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/886e398e-e52c-4feb-94f2-0b19137de918/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+1.53.03+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/c25cf772-08b4-481f-8fa1-ad15c6a8ed43/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+1.52.41+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/f5339eec-04d2-4f50-b1d9-cb3bb4ed9148/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+1.52.26+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/5b27d1a6-7077-409b-ad76-54fc1e424405/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+1.51.56+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/60c851eb-cea3-42fe-9564-a21a54bd5694/Screen+Shot+2021-12-17+at+1.52.09+PM.png Projects - Recycling & Sustainability Application https://angelamyoung.com/projects/black-banking-map monthly 0.5 2022-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/a0649e2f-fb84-419a-8453-e8adc79fb276/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.03.12+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map - Design Phase We followed a typical design process in order to get from ideation to high fidelity models of our designs. We started by defining exactly what problems we wanted to solve. We then broke down larger issues we gathered from user testing and divided it into categories by feature. We focused on specific features on the map including the search feature, the legend, and the bank information table. As part of the process of creating the design ideation board, we held brainstorming sessions as a team to flesh out our ideas into more concrete design requirements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/e0a63dad-ad46-4ca9-9235-d9c861d37d09/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+1.09.09+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map - Evaluation Phase In order to gather feedback with actionable insights regarding our final design, we conducted an evaluation phase including A/B testing. We want to see which search feature fits the user's needs better, so we plan on conducting A/B testing on the old/current Black Banking Map and our final design. Our goal is to determine the difference in usability and interest in the systems. We want to evaluate whether the users' ability to navigate the map feature has improved with the new final design. In our final design, we implemented a new guided search feature that combined the old legend and search bar into one panel. A goal of this study approach is to evaluate if the new combined feature is better than the two separated features. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/c408d0e4-1eb1-4431-9e0e-e1ffdaf70733/ezgif.com-video-to-gif.gif Projects - Black Banking Map - New User Flow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/0a3ae1dd-3388-4e14-a716-117b73588f0e/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+1.21.29+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map - Final Design When reviewing the multiple iterations of our key features, original ideas, and design requirements, we landed on a side-by-side design that incorporates a guided search feature while keeping the map interface. This side-by-side design satisfies multiple UX requirements that we had defined. Our user personas were kept in mind with this design iteration because it addresses the frustration of not getting effective search results from the search feature, and lends more clear takeaways about each displayed bank. This design implements a more guided search process that shows information based on their search on the left as well as the map view on the right. Users can search by location or bank name on the lefthand side of the screen and what they select will change where the map is zoomed in on. Users know the limits of what they can search for because it is clearly defined for them in the search bar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/069d62e0-d124-427d-a010-19bff7dba25c/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.18.33+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/fe5ff2d3-1c85-4794-9cb2-557ffff18976/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.41.22+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/8f434d64-08b5-4f35-aca5-4f64730d0e3c/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.54.48+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/84a3ebf6-099d-4a0c-9f9d-16cc8ffa267f/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.18.04+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/f3a88f67-abfd-4190-a82d-7309000912c5/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.41.06+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/3b0d1df0-408c-478a-89b3-4e4121579d56/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.44.26+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/764b4b8c-df81-49d3-941b-0ae4bc7a2130/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.17.57+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/f55cbca6-f4d4-4fe5-951c-9fa347f8dc31/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.43.50+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/cbd471af-c361-4756-ba8a-2b297d32fbc9/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.43.32+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f919aefdf6e8319f6e3a15e/dce11b52-8076-4d7c-9f06-224a710d7c11/Screen+Shot+2022-07-06+at+12.53.21+PM.png Projects - Black Banking Map
