SCOPE & CONSTRAINTS
Based on usability tests, buttons were confusing. We kept the simple green palette but added a bit more shades of green to create a rich color experience. Many journal entries were lost/erased so a sign-in page with cloud storage will allow her journal entries to stay in her account and allows to track for long periods of time.
PROCESS & ROLE
I developed the walkthrough screens and the sign-up screen. Here are a few reiterations based on feedback and design simplification based on Alice’s needs.
Outcomes and lessons
Final product contains the 3 button nav bar but now each page is much more robust with overall stimulating visual design, explanations to help first time users and a better way to track moods while encouraging users. Alice is content with her mood tracking and overall journaling progress.
