How to Improve Your Design Processes?
Design is often thought of as an artistic, intuitive activity. It isn’t that at all — at least few targets think of it that way. Design is a service that is supposed to give messages stopping power and make their meaning and value plain. This latter is “value-added” and well worth every dollar the client pays.
Make the relationships be created of repeating elements, cropping, alignments, type sizes and baselines, and value (i.e., relative lightness and darkness). Create “lively unity” by balancing contrast with similarity. The difference is essential to make a design visible, Develop order in our perception of the elements. Hierarchy is essential to make the most crucial element stand out, Arrange elements and the space surrounding them, and see color as a tool to relate and differentiate. Color is a raw material to be used strategically for a clear purpose,
We can quickly and easily design screens for a proposed experience and put together an interactive prototype to share with clients for new business work, and they can fully comprehend the intent of the new experience
So how you can improve your design processes below are described
pointwise.
Define the problem before hunting for solutions
Most of the time obvious problems are merely symptoms of the real problem. You will know when you’ve found the real problem because it will eliminate a lot of other issues at the same time. when a designer elaborately describes a problem then the solution will be easier for the designer, the problem will show you a way, where you’re going to be
Know your user like the back of your hand
All great products strive to solve a handful of problems as simply as possible, in a way that’s easily understood by the people who need it.
Conduct user research, create personas, and start mapping out user scenarios and flows. Anything that puts you deeper into the mind of the user is an investment in the successful design, When you design something you have to think if is it really useable and user-friendly for more than 70% of the user, if possible before design thinks about accessibility.
Establish a hypothesis to test before you design
A hypothesis introduces a way to seek the truth. Brainstorm as many scenarios as possible and whiteboard with your team. Run a design studio exercise in which participants sketch their solutions for how to complete specific tasks. You should always explore (and iterate) your hypothesis as one of the first steps in design. You should improve your hypothesis thinking and try to make something story telling the story behind the design.
Create a story with documentation
Produce documentation that tells a story. Your personas are the cast of characters. Your use cases are key parts of the screenplay. Your wireframes are the stage. Your process flows and user flows are the choreography, storyteller is always a good process for designing something great.
Collaborate with a diverse group on the best solution
A group of people from different backgrounds who possess different experiences will lead you to better solutions. Consider setting up a Think Tank of stakeholders to share their unique perspectives on how your design can be improved.
Eliminate the guesswork, Don’t follow what the user says, follow what the user does, the core aspect of speeding up the entire design process is removing the guesswork from every step of the process.
Question yourself
Being confident in your work is important. However, it only matters if the end result is an outstanding design. During the work process, question yourself, rethink, and question again. Are you on the right track? Is this innovative enough? Is the execution strong?
Think of it as if you were the user, or if you were your own client: would you find what you have produced new or inspiring? Questioning yourself will help you go through the design process more quickly, and will yield better results in the end.
