    Hey! I loved your video. This was probably the only video that provided a roadmap. However, I have a question. As a complete beginner in UX design, how do I choose case studies? Can it be hypothetical because I have not done any real-life projects for any client? Hypothetical in a way that I just choose any app and identify a problem with it and then work on it? I am just stuck here. Your input would be great. Hope to get a reply from you! Thanks a lot xx

    How should someone looking to become a UI designer structure their cast studies?

  • @imerinkate
    @imerinkateАй бұрын

    Firstly, I’d really consider if you want to niche yourself in UI (without UX). The job market is really competitive and having both skills opens up more roles to apply to. Secondly, when creating a UI case study you really want to focus on telling the story/journey of the product’s evolution and articulate why you made the UI decisions that you made. Be sure to incorporate things like who you are designing for and how that impacted your decisions, any pre-existing product data that may have played a role in decision making, designing for accessibility, if you based your designs on any guidelines, etc. Then, drive home how your UI designs had an impact on the company/KPIs etc.

It's a bit fast-paced and there is a lot of lingo that could use some pause and elaboration (wireframes, affinity mapping, SWOT, etc), but I am thankful for this template and for you to have taken some time to do this!

    Hi Erin, I’m a new UX designer currently going through a boot camp as well, I came across your video from a year ago I think and it resonates with me, thanks for sharing your experience, if you get comment I’d like to ask a question about your first tip , about unsolicited redesigns of applications you feel have “not so great” User Experience. My question is what is your process? Do you begin from scratch, conducting user research and drawing wireframes , or do you just redesign mockups of the existing applications. Thank you

  • @imerinkate
    @imerinkate7 ай бұрын

    Hey there! Welcome to the world of UX design. That’s a good question. The way that I would approach this scenario is … 1. Audit current product: When I audit a product I am taking notes on its functionality, usability, UI elements, etc. I am taking into account everything from the UX of the product (the way it feels to use) and the UI of the product (the way it looks). 2. Competitive analysis: then, I would do some competitive analysis on similar products/patterns - I usually screenshot the apps and map their flows out in Figma then put notes of pros and cons and ideas all of the competitors designs/flows 3. Redesign process: Then I begin my redesign. If there are major UX/UI issues then yes, I’ll do lofi wire framing- but this is not always needed and I’ll jump into mid-fidelity here. I usually make a few options and do some user testing on which is best/or discuss with my team. 4. High fidelity: I take the mid fi and clean them up into high fidelity mock-ups/designs- this is where I recreate the designs to be scalable if needed, name the frames/layers for easy dev handoff, use plugins like A11y to check contrast again, create components etc etc depending on what the scope of the project is. Hope this helps! :)
