How did I get this project?
One day I got featured in Android via Dribbble without knowing it. One day I received an email from Amsterdam. A Business Analyst had contacted me because he had seen that featured shot. He was working on a multisite planningstool for the company he worked for and he wanted that intern product to look exactly like the project from the Dribbble shot. I was unexperienced and insecure but motivated so I accepted. This happened on December 2016, when my knowledge about this was a finished Graphic Design career and 8-weeks in-class UX/UI classes.
So hands-on the work!
The process
During the process, we date a weekly Skype call, where we discussed the visual behaviours and interactions (if they were friendly for the user, what was correct and ok and what needed to be thought again, some brainstorming, some goals for the next week, etc).
As first step I decided to apply Material Design guidelines and if you’re curious about what was the first approach, it looked exactly like this:
But we found problems. We couldn’t use the same styles the Android app had. Why? We needed to differentiate one kind of task or project status from the other ones, basically.
You can notice I didn’t even use symbols… #facepalm
This was the solution where I get until I got a full-time job and he made a trip:
More than a year has passed since I started and left this project. I found the archive a month ago and truth is I really like it so why not sharing it and how I got where I got.
Hope you like it!
