Final Design Direction

In Module 6, it was time to make the big decision—choosing the final design direction. It's like picking your go-to pizza topping. After some serious contemplating, I landed on the one that just felt right. It's amazing how a small decision like this can make everything click. But Module 6 wasn't just about pretty designs; it was about refining the vibe of my brand. I dived back into the world of patterns, imagery styles, and other brand elements. Think of it like giving your project a personality makeover. What colors make it pop? What imagery style feels authentic? It's all about those little details that make your project stand out in the crowd.

User Testing and Refine User Flow

But here's the real kicker—user testing. I took my Post-it note masterpiece and put it to the test with real users. I walked through various scenarios with my trusty research participants. It was less about digital screens and more about the hands-on feel of how users would navigate through my project. Post-it notes became my storytellers, laying out the journey in a tangible, tactile way. I learned a ton. Based on the insights from my participants, I refined those user flows. It's all about making it not just user-friendly but user-friendly.
