Description:

Through observing user interfaces in my daily life, I selected 3 different apps and websites which I have either directly caused issues for me in using them or had user experience-related problems. I set out to create a rough design to improve their usability for their users.

Using the Nielsen Norman Group's 10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design I evaluated these interfaces and determined what aspects of these sites needed some adjusting. Keeping my findings in mind, I used Figma to create new rough layouts centered around the site's branding while at the same time fixing the issues I evaluated.

Application:

These journals helped me learn a lot about how to find and best address usability issues within the bounds of a companies style guide and page requirements. Not all user experience design projects give you completely free reign over what you make so working within a given set of bounds is an ideal skillset to have.
