Gallery Pal - Modified Design Sprint

In school, we did a Modified GV Design Sprint to learn how design sprints work. For the modified version, I worked alone instead of with a group.

I was given the brief and some research, which I parsed and sorted on Monday.

I did the Crazy 8s, sketching, storyboarding and prototyping before user testing on Friday.

An interesting thing I learned from the user testing process is that people want/expect a grid view for the "All by artist" section. I presented it to testers as a chronological card swipe from piece to piece. I got positive feedback about this feature, and I would still use it as a clicked-in option one layer deeper into the architecture. When users first navigate to the tab, they tell me, they want to see a grid with a lot of art pieces, not just one piece on a card. So I listened to their feedback and built a grid-style page for the presentation deck.

Several users also requested an e-commerce experience, because "galleries are about selling the art, aren't they?" I built a commission-request form for the presentation deck, which isn't shown here but is available upon request.

If you want to see the whole deck, I'm happy to connect. It's only 5 pages long.

This project was build in Sketch, then each screen was exported to PNG and imported into Adobe XD, where I assembled the slide deck. Hooray for 3d!

What you see here is one of 5 slides, which are designed to double as a poster campaign in an airport or train station.

Images and text are from OlafurEliasson.net. I chose his art because viewing a piece of his at SFMOMA changed the way I look at art, so thanks Mr. E.

Design sprint brief and research was put together by bitesizeux.com and presented to me by Springboard.
