User research: summary

I conducted user interviews, which I then turned into empathy maps to better understand the target
user and their needs. I discovered that many target users love movies and relaxing activity when they
need a break from school or work. However, many movie trailer websites are overwhelming and
confusing to navigate, which frustrated many target users. This caused a normally enjoyable
experience to become challenging for them, defeating the purpose of having fun and relaxation.

Paper wireframes

Next, I sketched out paper


wireframes for each screen in my
app, keeping the user pain points
about navigation, browsing, and
checkout flow in mind.

Mockups: Original screen size
Mockups: Screen size variations

I included considerations for additional


screen sizes in my mockups based on my
earlier wireframes. Because users visit
websites from a variety of devices, I felt it
was important to optimize the browsing
experience for a range of device sizes, such
as mobile and tablet so users have the
smoothest experience possible.
High-fidelity prototype

My hi-fi prototype followed the same


user flow as the lo-fi prototype, and
included the design changes made
after the usability study.
