App characterization and user experience
Do you have an idea for a product or service, and are you eager to get to business? Excellent! You have come to the right place. Before you spend time, money, and other energy, you should know a few things that will advance you and your product faster to the goal and, in the long run, will cost you less.
What is UX And how can it serve you in your product design?
Digital product design is different from anything you know about design. The designer who sits down to plan the design of your product and the user interfaces must control not only the design innovation accepted in the market but also the processes that your target audience is supposed to go through on the route you set for them.
The designer is obliged to take all the details into account, anticipate the weak points and maximize them for the success of the product.
For you it may be obvious, for us designers, it is not an easy task. A good designer knows how to do the job and submit a sketch that looks good, on the other hand, an excellent designer (cannon) knows how to see and anticipate all the processes even before he actually started working on the design and anticipate all the interactions and points of failure and give them solutions.
Application characterization - how does it work?
Whether you need app characterization for iPhone or mobile app characterization, this does not mean that you have to learn app characterization like those that are actually their profession, but you certainly have the opportunity to present mature progress in your idea that will make it easier for you later on in communication with the service providers.
When talking about application characterization, it is important to understand that there are different types of application characterization, each one has a significant role in the way and a different reference. Not all types of characterizations can be prepared by any person, but it is definitely desirable to know and identify them in order to better understand the entire process.
A good and accurate characterization of an application saves a lot of costs and precious time that is usually not abundant among entrepreneurs, therefore investing in description usually sharpens and focuses the idea down to the minor details and enables a common language with all service providers and looking at the picture or the project with a broader eye. The characterization in the first stages makes it possible to identify problems in the user interface, in understanding the interface, in the purpose of the service or application, and in errors that originate from orientation and performing desired actions.
Characterization of WIRE FRAMES
This is interactive application characterization at a more advanced level that is usually done by a professional or an entrepreneur who has access to such tools scattered throughout the network.
Usually, this is an interactive flow chart that you can wander through and, for the first time, feel the experience of the trip the user makes in your application.
At this stage your story is translated to screens and is the expression of your goal, this is not a stage where there is still a design, but you can get a sense of the poet's intention. At this stage, most of the tightening and changes take place because in the newly added dimension - the dimension of interactivity, you can see barriers, loops, duplications and other harmful things.
After you have gone through all these, your designer can take the document and cast the design (UI) the application. At this stage the magic called UX happens and it is the expression of your story into buttons, images and colors in different locations and different sizes.
It's a practical theory that combines a lot of knowledge, experience and practice that should ultimately produce the shortest and most intuitive process to complete your goal for the user.
Functional characterization
The functional characterization breaks down the character into a process or story. Imagine your user downloading the application and as soon as it is open to him what do you want to happen.
Important tip: Always put the main goal that you want to motivate your users to action at the center of things and make sure that it is easy and immediate for your users to reach it from anywhere and under any conditions.
People with a visual imagination will usually imagine the route the user takes and put what they see on paper. People with technical aptitude will know the way in the form of hierarchies or technical order.
Either way, the end result you want to get is a document with a story, each landmark in it is a stopping point for reference on the way of your user in the application.
You can add an illustrated illustration next to each explanation or not, all according to your ability of course, in any case, each landmark must have its own story, what is happening here, what can be done here, what I want the user to do here.
Service nature document / application
An application characterization document is a document that is usually written by the developer and its purpose is to refine the purpose of the service, its need and the way to a solution.
In this document, written in simple and matter-of-fact language, it is essential to find and distill the proven value uniqueness of the service/application in the competitive market; if you don't have one, you should rethink, and if you have one, you should sharpen it because it is the cornerstone of your work.
After you have written such a document, go over it again and again and delete words/sentences without which your idea is clear enough. There is no need to expand and tell a story, but describe precisely and briefly what your app does. A good example is the elevator test, when someone asks you in the elevator what your app does, you have 30 seconds to tell them and of course, they will understand.
