  • Assingment was to research the need for a mobile app that spreads information about wood building, and based on findings from research and user testing design a high fidelity prototype.

    During the project our team collaborated with the client by presenting the findings and designs, and implimenting the client’s feedback.

    The final product we delivered consisted of the prototype and a production report, in which we documented our process and all our findings.

  • We worked with the double diamond framework. Here are the methods we utilized in each phase:

    Discover: benchmarking, thematic interviews, classification analysis

    Define: user personas, scenarios, jobs to be done, journey mapping, design drivers

    Design: wireframing, preference testing, thematic analysis

    Deliver: high fidelity prototyping, task-based usability testing

  • Wood Library is a mobile application where users can find information about wood and wood building. Users can also find building instructions, and create and publish their own.

  • Design drivers chosen for this concept support the target groups needs and wishes.

    Learning: Our goal is to support the user’s learning path, and the adoption of new knowledge and skills.

    Inspire: The design aims to encourage, and arouse interest, joy and curiosity.

    Usability: Clear, intuitive, and easy-to-approach interface that caters to as many different users as possible.

  • In the home page user has access to any project they might be working on, as well as personalised recommendations for building instructions. At the bottom of the page there is a short cut to the building page.

    Library is where the user can find information about different species of tree.

    Building page is home for the building instructions. Presented in two carousels are the newest instructions, and instructions created by other users. The user can also choose to explore building instructions by category.

    Bookmarks are saved to their own page. There user can first access any incomplete project. For clarity the bookmarks are separeted into two categories: tree species and building insturctions.

    Profile page is for the user to take notes, manage their profile settings, and view, edit, and create their own building intructions.
