***SKIP TO 1MIN to jump over technical issues in the beginning*** This time I decided to stream the UX prototyping challenge LIVE! Let's see if this works out. The topic for the challenge was Data visualization prototyping and I received superb entries from UX and interaction designers across the globe. The rules are simple - you get a high-level product design brief and simple scenario. The rest is up to you: UX research, UX exploration and UI fidelity, visual expressions, interaction design methods and prototype depth... It all depends on how you want to make this. The best part about this UX design challenge is the social aspect seeing how other different seniority and background designers solve the same issues. Expect a big range of solutions. While you'll do your take on this challenge I'll film a tutorial video of how I'd approach it as well. ?Stay tuned for more sessions in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM2Dd2NIn2CrF2V-xQyZ_Nk3vQNUl2UCG ?SUBSCRIBE to this channel to get the latest updates on user experience, design strategy and more: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMEQZDhP_k_YkFnwoCgT7SQ?sub_confirmation=1 ?Like what you see?
