design tool user interface prototyping user experience (ux) figma (design software) researchOur company would like to explore re-designing our current website with a prototype.
We would like a group of students to design a new prototype web application based on our current website’s functionality.
This will involve:
- Conducting background research on our existing web application for the product.
- Identifying key areas of our current website that are problematic and what areas of focus might return the best results in a redesign.
- We strongly recommend students learn how to use Figma as this is the latest and greatest tool currently available.
- Creation of a screen-by-screen UX / UI prototype of a web application which can be used on all major browsers and be mobile friendly
By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:
- Familiarize themselves with our existing service
- Familiarize themselves with a design tool of their choosing and understand how it works. We strongly recommend Figma.
- Design and build inside of the design tool all the needed screens for a redesigned prototype of our product
- Present the final design screens to us with the context of all the choices they made, problems they encountered, and the next steps they recommend.
Final deliverables should include
- The design screens and all assets in a shareable format
- A presentation as stated above of the final designs
Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:
- Current product understanding
- Tools and applications required to create the web pages
- Any sort of branding or styling advice
- Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter
About the company
My Party Album is a private photo-sharing app. There are 2 types of services, the Party and the Mixer. Parties are defined by duration and the number of guests (i.e. weddings, family reunions, corporate events). Guests are invited by the Party Owner and every picture and 15-second video taken in the app is automatically uploaded to a private repository. They have sole access and can create albums to share as they wish. A Mixer is a subscription service for up to 20 people and is for everyday life and events (friend group, family vacation, spring break, girls' night out, gap year, etc). Content is automatically shared with every person in the Mixer. The app is private; the pictures are owned by the Subscriber or Party Owner and MPA has no access to them. They are not shared outside the app unless the Owner decides to share them. In this project, we want to spin off and rebrand the Mixer for our Collegiate Program making it available to school groups and faculty.
