frame of mind


I was tasked with creating an app based specifically to make the life of a college students easier. 

background


My user is a male college student named Jorge studying engineering with a busy schedule. He is hardworking yet enjoys a more fun aesthetic. The user has noticed that they have difficulties with headaches and bad moods, but does not always know the cause. The main goals of this app is:

1. Track the moods of the user. This should give them evidence and records of their feelings.

2. Track their routines. That way it may be cross referenced within the app to provide a trend analysis.

3. Analyze this data to provide insights and trends. This allows them to know when they may have headaches or bad moods and what may be the cause.

A customer journey map was created to see what were some of the pain points Jorge may be experiencing throughout his day. The best timeframes chosen to focus on were from 12:00-6:30 and 8:00-11:00, as this is when most activity and events occur.

The primary problem for the app to address is the drastic change in moods between the two times and to help find potential causes.




takeaways

Putting my app to the test, I conducted user testing with both groups and the primary user. Qualitative research based on two sectors, UI and UX, in order to improve the functionality, aesthetics, and use of the app.
UI

  • too busy of a home screen
  • main color choice was nice, but edit some contrast
  • increase size of boxes to fill full screen
UX

  • make home screen menu drop downs
  • fix broken buttons
  • allow notes section to also record audio
  • add more user insights and option to view different months of it
