I will soon have some work samples on the regular website in my portfolio, but I wanted to share some of the projects I’ve been working on as the UX Visual Designer at mylife.com.
As a UX Visual Designer, I design simple and innovative solutions to complex User Interface problems. Create multiple iterations and concepts for the final online product for desktop and responsive mobile formats. Actively participate in a fully integrated agile/scrum team with product managers, developers, engineers, QA and others. Recommend and implement copy and design changes to improve customer conversion and engagement.
It’s great to get some ideas out of your head and on to some paper. I know it may seem strange. But sketching is a great way to brainstorm and to visualize how things actually fit together on the page or screen. Plus sketching is a great communication tool. Want to have a discussion about some of the ideas you have? Sketch them out and use them as talking points to move the project forward.
I used skating and the first phase to exploring some ideas for a history page I was working on for a website redesign.
Use sketching as a communication tool to get the ideas out of your head and on to paper.
The final step of the design phase included mocking up the page in Photoshop. Granted, the interaction and motion of the elements cannot be simulated in Photoshop. But a developer could work from this mockup with accompanying annotations and notes and discussion.
