While working on the Polyplexus project, I leveraged the existing logo and branding provided by an external vendor, streamlining the design process for the web application. The company also furnished much of the UX research, allowing me to focus primarily on UX design due to time constraints. To expedite the process, I initiated with low-fidelity wireframes, evolving them into a clickable prototype. Subsequently, I conducted user testing with students, which informed my decision to prioritize high-fidelity designs immediately after testing completion, approaching the project with a sense of urgency to ensure efficient progress.
Project Overview
Process
Designing the application
The Polyplexus logo and bradning was created by an oustide vender so I did not have to create that while designing the web application and most of the UX research was given to me by the company. Due to time constraints I had to focus on the UX design so I started with creating low fidelity wireframes that I later turned into a clickable prototype. I was later able to take the clickable protoype and user test with students. Afetr user testing was completed I decided to appproach this project with a since of urgency and go straight into high-fidelity designs immediatly after the user testing was completed.
Solution
My primary objective for the Polyplexus project was to infuse it with a fresh design while incorporating the dynamic features of a unique social media platform. I aimed to maintain a bold visual aesthetic while prioritizing legible fonts to ensure ease of reading for students. This approach combined creativity with usability, enhancing the platform's appeal and functionality.
- A new website with social media like capabilities like direct messaging and replying.
- Will be used by science students and teachers
- Is web-based, so it is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection
- Enables students to access, look up information, and enter data from secure smartphones and tablets
- Enables students to interact in real time when dealing with science research
- Provides access to real-time, updated information
Outcomes
The finalized Polyplexus designs and clickable prototype were delivered to the client for development, meeting their requirements and expectations. Client satisfaction was achieved, affirming the effectiveness of the design solutions provided.
