Design Documentations - vonix-id/styleguide GitHub Wiki
User Experience Designers create several key documents to ensure that the software project is user-friendly, visually appealing, and functionally efficient. These documents collectively help ensure that the UI/UX design is well thought-out, user-centered, and aligned with the project's goals. They also facilitate better communication and collaboration between designers, developers, and other stakeholders. Here are some typical documents they produce:
Documentation Type | Description |
---|---|
User Personas | Detailed descriptions of fictional users representing the different target audience segments. Includes demographic information, behaviors, goals, and pain points. |
User Journey Maps | Visual representations of the steps users take to achieve specific goals within the product. Identify user interactions, emotions, and potential obstacles. |
Wireframes | Low-fidelity sketches or digital blueprints outlining the structure of the user interface. Focus on layout and content placement without detailed design elements. |
Mockups | High-fidelity visual representations of the UI, showing color schemes, typography, and design elements. Provide a realistic preview of the final product. |
Prototypes | Interactive versions of mockups, allowing stakeholders to experience the product's flow and functionality. Used for user testing and feedback. |
Design System/Style Guide | Comprehensive guidelines on the visual and interaction design principles. Includes color palettes, typography, iconography, and component libraries to ensure consistency across the product. |
Usability Test Reports | Documents summarizing the findings from usability testing sessions. Highlight user issues, provide recommendations, and help prioritize improvements. |
Information Architecture | Detailed structure of the information hierarchy, including sitemaps and content categorization. Ensures content is organized logically and easily navigable. |
Accessibility Guidelines | Documentation outlining the best practices and standards for making the product accessible to users with disabilities. Includes compliance with WCAG. |
Interaction Specifications | Detailed descriptions of how users will interact with the UI components. Includes animations, transitions, and feedback mechanisms for user actions. |
