Ironhack Challenge 02 — Wireframing
Pre-work exercise for the UX/UI Lisbon Bootcamp April 2020
For my second challenge to complete the Ironhack pre-work, I had to choose any app, identify a user flow, and do a “reverse engineering” in order to create an interactive wireframe.
To do this I choose to work with the HostelWorld app and simulate a bed reservation in a hostel in Barcelona. I already used this app and I think that he has a really easy and intuitive flow.
So, after taking the screenshots, I imported the images to Sketch to create the wireframes. I used many elements from the Ironhack Wireframe Kit, like buttons, Image/Placeholder, avatar icon, search icon, text fields and radio buttons. I’ve also identify an image carousel (artboard 1), a rating bar (artboard 3), and a wizard (artboart 7).
During the process, I think that the hardest part was to draw attention to the buttons that are important to complete the flow. Even that the challenge suggests to use only black and white, I think that different shades of gray are essential to distinguish elements.
After creating the wireframes, I used Marvel to prototype.
You can see the prototype here :)
These screenshots were taken inside Sketch. The screen size is 1080 x 1920.
