31 days challenge:

Redesign Instagram

A learning experience design project that focuses on providing ECT students with course planning strategies with references.

Project Introduction

This is a 31-days design challenge started by Ideate Labs, which is a design organization I have been following for about a year in terms of UI/UX design practices, theories and insights. This time, the challenge is aimed at redesigning Instagram to train the designers’ mindset with the immersion and practices of the design thinking process and visual design skills.

Methodology and tools used in this project:

  • User research methods: user interview and survey, comparative analysis

  • Design and prototypes: Figma

 

Problem and user statement

Main problem:

Plagiarism is a major issue for students and researchers all across majors in college and academia that can cause serious consequences. While the definition and rules of plagiarism are complicated, students get stressed in understanding and actionalizing it.

Main user:

NYU’s graduate students who are not very familiar with writing academic papers.

Outcome:

A Google Chrome extension that helps graduate students at NYU to avoid plagiarism while writing academic papers.

 
 

Design process

  • Share our UX research methods, results, and findings that we have done in the first diamond -"design the right thing"

  • Moving into the next phase of the Double Diamond Diagram - "design things right".

  • We will need some support from stakeholders to start creating, designing and testing our product.
