Creating a user flow before designing it helps plan and visualize the user’s journey. It outlines the steps users will take to complete tasks and achieve their goals. This process ensures a clear understanding of the app’s structure and navigation.
Sketching the wireframe creates a visual blueprint of its layout and functionality. It allows for quick iteration, exploration of design concepts, and testing of user flows. The wireframe ensures alignment with the intended user experience and serves as a foundation for the app’s visual design.
Transitioning to low-fi wireframes after sketching, serves a specific purpose. Low-fidelity wireframes allow me to focus on the app’s overall structure, content placement, and user flow without getting caught up in visual details. By using simple shapes, placeholders, and minimal styling, low-fidelity wireframes facilitate quick and iterative design iterations, enabling me to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments early in the design process.
At the final stage of the design process, the high-fidelity wireframe takes center stage. It incorporates detailed visual elements, typography, colors, and refined user interface components. This elevated level of fidelity serves the purpose of accurately representing the app’s ultimate look and feel, offering a realistic preview of the user experience.
