Based on the insights we gained from our user interviews, we defined the two types of our target users’ personas.
Based on the two user personas we have created, we conducted corresponding user journey maps on our users.
Artist user is focusing on the event experience, and non-artist user is focusing on the art shopping experience.
We used Crazy 8’s as a method of brainstorming to generate a wide variety of solutions for our design.
Each member drew 8 brainstorming ideas of the our app, along with some sketches.
We picked one of the potential functions to create low fidelity paper prototypes.
This step helped us to draft the initial look of our app and foresee potential problems.
We did 2 user testings for feedback.
This step helped us to understand our design, improve with better user experience in the wireframing and user flow.
