Art Auction App

UX Design / UX Research / Prototyping

Challenge

To make it easier for someone to buy art through an online auction.

‍

Understanding the User

A competitive analysis was carried out. The information concluded was the simpler the better. Followed by an
unmoderated user research. Users were asked to bid on art on a low-fidelity prototype/high fidelity prototype. There were a few things to be noted and changed such as adding a new page for confirmation and making the adding process easier.

Accessibility Considerations

‍

Impact

‍

"This is a great app idea to be able to buy art from your local museum. It is also user friendly”

I have learned to ask the right questions, carry out a UX research and to prototype using figma from scratch.
