Project Challenge
The founder of Replik Arşivi approached me with a vision to launch a soundboard app tailored for the Turkish market. Impressed by his passion and the unique challenges of designing for a diverse cultural context, I embraced the opportunity. The goal was to develop a high-fidelity wireframe and working prototype that could be easily handed off to the development team for execution.
Objective
To create an intuitive and engaging high-fidelity wireframe and prototype for a soundboard app that resonates with the Turkish audience, incorporating user feedback and best practices gleaned from a thorough analysis of competitors.
Strategic Design Approach
- Initial Research and Competitor Analysis: Conducted a detailed study of existing soundboard apps to understand market trends and user preferences within the target market.
- Low-Fidelity Wireframing: Created several low-fidelity wireframes based on the founder’s initial sketches and insights from the competitor analysis, allowing for quick iterations and feedback.
- User-Centric Design Iteration: Iterated designs based on continuous feedback from the client, refining the user experience and interface to meet specific user needs.
- High-Fidelity Prototyping: Developed a complete high-fidelity prototype that detailed the user interaction and visual design, ensuring the app was both functional and visually appealing.
- Design Handoff: Prepared a comprehensive design style guide and finalized all design assets for a seamless handoff to the developer, facilitating an efficient development process.
