Design Process

 

As part of the design process, we went through two iterations of wireframes.

 

Initial Wireframes

The initial set of wireframes were "transaction" centric and as a consequence, only narrowly showcased the features that directly addressed the needs. In other words, it focused too much on features like the shopping card, hover over, and not enough on the style finding and investment recommendations.

Wireframes Revisited

 

We made a second attempt at the wireframes after the first critique. This time, we nailed down a couple scenarios first and made sure the wireframes illustrated features that directly addressed the persona's needs and the scenarios.
