About College Application Interface de Aplicativo Móvel

O College Application é um aplicativo para dispositivos móveis e computadores criado para estudantes universitários. O aplicativo reúne horários de aulas, restaurantes do campus, acesso à biblioteca e gestão do OneCard em uma única plataforma. As versões para iOS e macOS seguem as diretrizes de design da Apple e adaptam-se a diferentes tamanhos e orientações de tela. O design foi desenvolvido com Sketch e Figma Jam, com o apoio de entrevistas, questionários e testes de usabilidade com estudantes. Mais de 100 mockups foram produzidos e aprimorados a partir do feedback dos usuários. O objetivo é substituir as ferramentas lentas e confusas do campus por um único serviço claro.

Production Technology: The Student app design process involved using Sketch and Figma Jam as primary tools. The project started with a UX discovery phase and involved interviews and user tests with Seneca students. User personas, journeys, wireframes, and prototypes were created for continuous refinement based on feedback. Sketch and Figma Jam enabled seamless collaboration and version control, allowing for responsive designs for various devices.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of the design activity for the Student apps was balancing the diverse needs and preferences of the target audience while maintaining a cohesive, user-friendly, and efficient experience. With a wide range of features and functionalities to be included in the app, it was essential to prioritize and organize these elements in a way that would not overwhelm users or compromise the overall usability of the platform.
Research: During the development of the Seneca Student Apps, a comprehensive understanding of users' needs, preferences, and pain points was ensured through various research activities. These included preliminary research, surveys, qualitative research, user personas, user journey mapping, usability testing, and post-launch feedback.
Inspiration: The project was inspired by my experience as a Seneca College student in 2017. I noticed that the existing college apps had usability issues and poor performance, and I believed that a good app for students could significantly enhance their academic experience and college life. My goal was to create an all-in-one solution that streamlines essential services and offers a user-friendly, efficient, and reliable platform. I drew inspiration from my own experiences and extensive research and user feedback to identify key features and functionalities that would benefit the Seneca community and create a design that resonates with users while addressing their unique needs and preferences.
Project Duration: The project was designed during the summer of 2022 in Newcastle, UK. Updated in March 2023.
Operation Flow: The Student Apps for iOS and macOS are designed to make life easier for Seneca students. They offer a seamless and intuitive user experience, adapting to different screen sizes and orientations. They adhere to Apple's design guidelines, ensuring smooth operation and fast response times. The apps have been tested and refined based on user feedback and research, resulting in a design that meets the needs and preferences of the target audience.
