Many designers have some self-doubt when it comes to writing, so today I'm going to show you how I outline my UX case study, what I include, and exactly what I've written so that you can learn from a real example.

What a great and thorough break down of a case study write up. Great work Maddy. One thing to keep in mind is to keep the execution quite visual and delightful to look at. It can be hard for employers to digest when it's very content heavy.

Thanks! Yes, 100%. This is something I show in some of my other case study videos! The verbal/visual balance and relationship is key. Great tip!

Hi Maddy! Thanks for this video. After creating your case study in XD, how do you port it over to your online portfolio website? What happens if you lose resolution when you export the artboards as images to upload it in your website?

@MaddyBeard 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! I export my 1920px width artboards as PNGs at 1X, so if you do that you shouldn't lose resolution :)

Excellent video, so helpful in getting an organized workflow! If you did usability testing where would you fit into your document?

@MaddyBeard 3 жыл бұрын

Glad it was helpful! And good question -- I'd probably rename my research section to say "Foundational Research" and then add a section after the sketches & wireframes called "Testing." This way it's clear you tested before producing final designs. But of course it all depends on your process and how you want to tell the story! There's not just one right answer :)

If I followed right, your key moments are the important aspects/feature of the FreshList design? We don't necessarily have to include the entire flow from end-to-end in our case study?

@MaddyBeard 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, correct! At least that’s my approach. That way it guides the viewers to see what’s most important and doesn’t rely on a prototype that someone has to “figure out” if that makes sense.

What tool do you use to create information architecture? I use draw.io but recently when I exported my IA diagram to the svg file and put in Figma or Adobe XD it was crashed, fonts were in another color etc haha. Of course there are many of tools to make diagrams (for example Google draw or OmniGraffle) but maybe you recommend something especially? Or you make it with Adobe XD and some plugin? Greetings :)

@dipraghosh8779 3 жыл бұрын

Faced the same problem. Try to use FigJam. It is easy to use and efficient than other diagramming software.

How can we do any testing when it’s a made up project?? (For a portfolio). We need research but no one is saying how we can gather some (outside of friends/family).

@MaddyBeard 2 жыл бұрын

You could ask on social media, or go to a college campus and hand out gift cards or free coffees to anyone willing to participate! For your first few projects, it doesn’t have to be really formal :)
