About Project
This project centers around the concept of creating aseries of flash cards to explain UX writing, emphasizing principles centered onreader usefulness. The graphic theme takes inspiration from ink traces left by a brush, and orange lines visually represent the ideas on the cards. The project was completed inunder a week.
Problem
Limiting yourself to one specialization carries the risk of making poor design decisions.
The choice of UX writing arose from the need to address the challenge of educating design students and Junior UX designers effectively about the concept. The project aims tomake learning enjoyable and engaging through a visually appealing and informative approach.
Solution
Fun, bold and modern educational materials that are engaging and easy to understand.
Visually Engaging Design
Using ink traces and bold orange lines, the design captures attention and enhances the learning experience, making it both visually stimulating and memorable.
Reader-Centric Approach
The project emphasizes UX writing principles centered on reader usefulness, ensuring that the information is presented in a clear and user-friendly manner.
Fun and Bold Learning
The project's main strength lies in its approach to making the learning process enjoyable for junior UX designers, employing a fun and bold design that facilitates concept comprehension.
Process
Research
I extensively delved into UX writing concepts, systematicallycategorizing them into 9 rules.
Moodboard
The subsequent step entailed crafting a precise mood board andidentifying prevailing trends that were popular during that period.
Ideation&Design
The final stage focused on translating each concept into engaging flash card visuals, ensuring they were both lively and easily understandable, striking a balance between clarity and creativity.
Final Design
"Visually appealing series of flash cards with intelligent intermingling of concept and illustration."
The culmination of the project is a visually engaging series of flash cards, each representing a UX writing concept. Inspired by ink traces and featuring bold orange lines, the design not only conveys information effectively but also adds an element of enjoyment to the learning process for junior UX designers.
Reflections
What I learned
In the journey of creating a project focused on UX writing and design education, three key reflections emerged, shaping my understanding and approach to effective communication, integration of design elements, and the pivotal role of empathy in educating aspiring designers.
Effective communication of complex concepts
I learned to communicate complex UX writing concepts effectively to fellow designers, employing visually appealing flash cards and reader-centered principles for accessibility.
Lasting Impact
Even after some time since completing this project, the concepts depicted on the flash cards remain vivid in my memory. While I may not recall them verbatim, I can intuitively implement these principles when engaged in the design process.
Empathy in design education
Focusing on UX writing addressed the challenge of educating junior UX designers empathetically, prioritizing an enjoyable and bold design approach that considers the emotional and motivational aspects of learners.
