UNC Bands Mobile App
The project: For my final project in my UX Design & Usability class, we were tasked with developing our own unique digital experience to solve a problem. As a class, we did a lot of design thinking exercises to help each other brainstorm and further develop digital solutions to the problems we were interested in solving.
The pitch: Our current UNC Bands website is filled to the brim with information and links, and it doesn't have a clear visual hierarchy or sense of organization. As a member of UNC Bands, I wanted to find an easier way for band students to access the online resources they need. My goal? To create a prototype of a practical, easy-to-use mobile application that all UNC Bands members could use to find the information they need to be successful at the touch of a button.

The content is organized in order of: Project summary/goals, audience analysis, asset list, style guide, 2 user personas, site structure map, sketched wireframes, link to designed interactive panels, and user testing including potential improvements to designed panels.

This is a prototype in which only a few elements are interactive.
Potential design improvements: After taking in feedback from my user testing results, I made a few subtle changes to my app home screen panel to demonstrate how simpler lines and more color variation could make my app look a bit more modern and establish a clearer visual hierarchy.
