GOAL
Create a site that will inform users about the game-ified experience Fjord is using to showcase AWS Deep Lens and provide a point were users could put data into the system and participate in the experience.
STAGE 1 : PLANNING
I spoke with the development team to create a flow for the screens they wanted me to the mockup. We brainstormed the actions and the instruction a user might need when visiting the site for the first time. After our meeting I determined a user would need:
-
An onboarding experience
-
To give permission to participate
-
Data ingest point
-
Leaderboard
STAGE 2: EXECUTION
After the basic wireframes were approved, I went into choosing the colors and style of the site. I decided to create a dynamic gif and declutter the flow of my original design in favor of a simpler more graphic representation. Furthermore, I pivoted from the carousel I had originally pitched in favor of a video for the onboarding process because of confusion that the carousel seemed to pose with the users who tested it.
After the first iteration of the site I :
-
Combed the site for any bugs or inconsistencies and made a running list for the development team
-
Worked with the development team to implement changes in the design of the page to make it more user family
-
Utilized principles like hierarchy, spacing, and consistent casing to improve the current iteration of the site
-
Furthermore I took steps to ensure that the site was 508 compliant
