The Solution

I chose to redesign the official PlayStation App for iOS. During my initial research, I found it had the most potential for improvement, and would allow me pursue app design, one of my biggest interests. My research included conducting a cognitive walkthrough, looking at user reviews, competitors, Apple guidelines and creating personas. Through this, I identified a number of specific improvements which would enhance the app in the three aforementioned areas.

Next, I created a set of paper wireframes, and took the best designs forward. Within digital development, I began by creating a low-fi prototype, and improved this iteratively till it was a level of high-fidelity. This enabled me to implement all the changes I had intended to make, and identify additional ways it could be improved. Once the app was finished, I conducted further user testing in order to gain an understanding of how much I had improved the overall user experience.
