Design for Screen - Wireframe Initial Sketches

Wireframes are used in UXD to be able to initially realise a way of beginning the design process for the app, the first sketches are developed into digital bases to begin to design the prototype of the app. It allows me to see which parts of the app will link to each other and ensure that the screen is not over crowded.

Home page ideas

1. Navigation at the bottom of the page, changing blocks in the centre of the page which display different images each time from someone’s portfolio.
2. Tinder style swipe system to say yes or no, only see one image from ones per profile, which forces the person to make a decision whether or not to begin a match with that person.
3. More information about the artist’s work, with their specialism, slightly overlaying the work in white to contrast against the work but not take priority. 

Message Board Ideas

1. Standard messaging screen, familiar so people would know how to use it straight away, small image scrolling through the artist’s work.
2. Central large image with text placed over it in the middle, navigation between the different messages on the circles, circles contain a running slideshow of the artist’s work you are talking to.
3. Circles at the top half of the page navigates the way through the messages, messages in bubbles, box at the bottom containing an image displaying the artist’s work that you are currently in conversation with.

Archives Ideas

1. Based around the idea of folders, click the folder and it expands small previews of the profiles, click a profile it expands to that artists profile.
2. Click through profiles through circle previews at the bottom of the page, opens quick view of that artists in the upper half, click through to their profile.
3. Listed specialisms, select specialism, shows the file expanded with circle click through to the profiles.
4.  

Homepage Ideas Continued

1. Similar to last homepage plan, less information more focus on the work itself.
2. Full screen image, just yes or no at the bottom, no information or anything else on the screen, taking out all personal factors.
