Hello, This is my final class project: available and documented on Behance here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/223568049/Balance-Yoga-Studio Some comments: 1. I have decided to start a project from scratch and not simply finalise the projects prototyped during the course. This project is called Balance, a Yoga Studio. 2. You have both desktop and mobile versions available 3. both these versions use the techniques learned during the Advanced Figma Course 4. The cart flow is available on the mobile version (4 steps, from cart checkout to Information collection, payment card details and payment confirmation) Please contact me for any additional information

Link to the video of final project - https://vimeo.com/1049432704/d747e30d63?share=copy. You will see that the icon of the cart got buggy a bit while running animation, but this appeared only while I used Vimeo, restarted Figma and it worked again. Was also a bit short on time due to my work, but managed to make a working app concept. The EightShapes Specs plugin is no longer free (only few features worked due to upgrade plan of theirs), so I hope its enough for the finish of this project.

I present forth my final project. I made sure to emphasize headings to direct the users on how to navigate the app. This is only my second design so it is not up to par as of yet. I made sure to only have one primary button on each page, which is filled by the colour blue. I tried to minimise the number of pages a user has to go through to get to the end of the user journey of buying a ticket. I made sure to include a back button so they user can easily undo any action that user has undertaken, this allows the user to explore the app without fear of failure. The navigation bar is include on every single page to allow any user to navigate the app. The top Icon navigates the user back to the home page if need be.

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor

instructor

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Downloads & Exercise files

Transcript

Hi everyone. It is the last class project. Woo hoo. I'm hoping you're not woo hooing. You're like, Aw man, I wish there was more. Either way.

This is the project. Finish your design. Okay, so we've been building parts  of this a little bit messy throughout the course. So I want you to tidy them up, get something ready  for your portfolio and to put some  of those skills into practice. Okay? So basically I built a little wire frame, okay?

It is in the exercise files. There's something called Z Final Class Project. Just so it's at the bottom of the list there. There's a PDF in here and this is what it's got in it, okay? A little wire frame for you to work from. You should have a lot of this already, okay?

The pages are in there individually as well. Let me show you the file that I made. Alright, here it is. So you've made a welcome screen already, partly,  okay, I'm gonna your page up. Uh, remember this, okay? Some sort of animation on the welcome screen.

So what happens when people first install your app? Kind of like onboarding. It doesn't have  to be too spectacular,  but just tidy that up if you  didn't do that earlier in the class. Now the homepage, I'm not gonna make it too tricky, okay? Uh, you might disagree, uh,  but what we're gonna do is we're gonna have three category  options, okay? When you land, okay?

Come outta the welcome screen. There's gonna be a first page when the uploads, okay? And that's gonna go to trending events, okay? So use the event card, tidy that up from earlier on. And what I want to do is have two other categories. Okay?

So we've got trending, okay? The other pages might be like we did in the course  where we had, uh, this weekend. They might be subcategories within the music,  uh, genre that you've got. Okay? It might be new this weekend. Whatever you wanna break it up into, okay?

They'll look very similar. What I wanna do is have that sub nav that we had earlier on. So have a look. All right, there it is over here. Okay? So it doesn't have to look like this,  doesn't have to work the same way.

Just some sort of extra navigation  to get round those three categories. You can have four categories. You can't have two. There you go. Homepage landing. All of these.

Actually, I'll copy and paste these cards  onto all of those frames. Okay? So just way of kind of like toggling  between those three categories. Um, I would like you to have a search option as well. Okay? We made the search bar, we didn't develop a search  results page.

I'd like you to do some research  on what that should look like. Okay? One of the few things we haven't kind  of tackled throughout the course, through the projects. So have the search bar and have a search results page  and either clicking the event cards  or the search results go into event details. So just, you know, location, price,  what it's about, some imagery. Okay?

And when that's completed, I want people to be able  to buy a ticket, okay? And we'll do a simple cart flow. Okay? So this checkout flow will be, there'll be a cart of like  what you've got in your cart, okay? Payment details will be the next step  and then a confirmation page. So that's it.

Uh, let's look at the class project,  make sure I haven't missed anything. Welcome animation homepage. It's gonna default to the trending page. There's gonna be a lower nav  and a subcategory navigation, okay? That is the lower nav there,  Okay? And the subcategory  navigation is that one there, okay?

These category pages, there's gonna be three including the  homepage of trending. You can be way more creative than me  in the different categories. I don't mind what they are. Okay? Have a search bar with the results page,  event details, check out flow. Ooh.

And the last thing is I want you  to document one component. It's probably gonna be the uh, vent card. 'cause it's gonna have the most interesting details. I don't mind which one it is. Um, if you are gonna use the plugin, some plugin, I want you  to tidy it up, okay? I want you to dig into those layers, see  how they're constructed, and pull out the  stuff that's not that useful.

I'm looking for something like this. Not everyone has the same amount of time. So if you do, I'd love you to brand this  so it doesn't look like everyone else's. Okay? Tidy up the things that you don't feel. Pass on any good information  to either your colleagues or the developers.

Make sure you name everything nicely, not frame four. There you go. That is it. There's two optional extras in here  and these are for the people who really wanna make this  for their portfolio. Okay? Build out a wishlist as well.

And the artist profile page if you've got the time. And really, if you wanna practice the skills you've learned  in this course, I'd highly recommend you doing the optional  extras, but it'll be up to  what time you have available for the deliverables. I want you to do a video like  before of you interacting with your prototype,  showing all the pages that we've mentioned,  including jumping out to your spec page. Or you can upload a screenshot of that. Again, some people haven't been  doing the videos through the course. Screenshot of all your pages will work fine too.

Upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo or Bee Hans  and then share the link in the assignment section. And I really recommend sharing this on social media. Can't wait to see where yours ends up. And remember, we're all practicing here. If you are new to UX design or design in general  and you feel like, ah, mine's not worthy of going up online,  get it up, get it out to the, bring your laptop community. We're all here to learn  and I can't wait to see what you make.

Jump cut. Okay? Remember  to comment on two other people's work here. This is where you can spend a little bit more  time with your critique. Be kind, be critical. Remember the critique sandwich, okay?

And optional for this as well is to build this  for your actual portfolio, okay? Build it out even further than  what we've discussed up top, okay? Include the brief, the persona,  any wire frames you might've made,  you might've just jumped into high fidelity. You might wanna back out for wire frames for this one, just  so that it's a nice complete, uh, portfolio piece. Not ideal doing it that way. Wire frames should come first,  but as long as you're clear that this is a project  that you did, a case study, a course that you went through,  okay, that'll be fine.

So include your finished designs  and when it comes to a good portfolio piece,  look for some good examples. But including things like assumptions that you had  before you started, okay? When you were making things, things you bumped into,  things you had to change, that sort of stuff shows your kind  of thought process in the UX design process. Alright? It's a big one. Hopefully there's lots of those big chunks already lying  around from earlier in the course  and there's only a few things you need to do to tidy it up.

Hopefully some of you though will take some time to kind  of polish it a little bit  and get it ready for that all important portfolio. Alright, my friends, that is last of the class projects,  more videos to come though. So let's get into those to wrap it up  and then you can get started on your project. Alright, I'll see you in the next video.
