Step 1: Research and Planning

Process Flow

The first step was to create a process flow for the navigation of my app and how the user with determine where to go.

Personas

I had to determine the target audience for Rentana. These scenerios were determined before thinking about any type of design. Their purpose is to determine the actions that are able to be performed by the app.

Step 2: Wireframes

Rough Sketches

The first step in wireframing is always rough sketches with paper and pencil. This makes is way easier to revise and add in new ideas.

Step 3: UxPin

Clickable Prototypes

After sketching out each page and critiquing them in class, I digitized them using UxPin. After creating each page I made it clickable and functional.

Step 4: Mockups

Photoshop Mockups

I created mockups of each page in Photoshop of how I wanted each to be designed. Each page was imported to InVision to make them clickable after being designed in Photoshop.

Step 5: Invision

Designed, Clickable Prototypes

Using Invision, the task was to take our Photoshop mockups and import them to form a clickable prototype that was also designed. This gave the illusion of an actual coded website in a way.

Step 6: User Testing

Many Rounds of User Testing

After many rounds of user testing, I found that a lot of mistakes were repeating themselves. throughout the various tests inbetween revisions, there were very important process remaining unclear. These problems I chose to fix right away. There were other Minor problems as well but some only happened to one or two people and I did not feel that they were as big of probelsm as others so they may have gotten pushed aside until the end. Below is my script scenerios followed by the most common issues.
