#user flow

Before starting to design the app we decided it would be good to create a user flow so we can get all of the right elements in the right place so when it comes to designing the app. We wanted it to be personalised so it starts with a quiz and then the user is directed to 4 main pages: explore, opportunities, messages and profile.

There will be other smaller elements situated under these headings which the user will be able to navigate between. 

the different pages and their functions:

explore: feed consisting of opportunities offered by the people you are`already connected with and you scroll down if you don’t like it and swipe left if you like it. you can bookmark the post, like it or send them a message. You will also have the timeline here which is like a pinterest feed where you can see what work the people you connect with are posting.

opportunities: you are able to see the opportunities for live briefs/ jobs and internships in any area of the world you’re interested in as well as the learning tab to teach you how to successfully and professionally reach out to other creatives.

messages: organised by newness of the connections and provides you with prompts as to what to say. there will be a ‘connection strength’ which builds over time and the more you interact and talk and complete briefs together the stronger the connection. this shows that this is a good person to work with and that they are reliable.

Finally caught up with Prototyping.

User flow ideation

To begin the design process for my actual app I began with creating a few examples of how my user flow could work. i was indecisive on whether or not to include a log in page as I wasn't sure if I wanted to allow the user to create a profile but after thinking, I realised that to able to post within the forum some sort of account needs to be attached to it.

Learning Page

the learning page offers different topics that the user is able to select and learn about. you are able to also access your reading list. it will offer topics such as about mental health, metal health conditions, how can I help? and also how to start a conversation.

Community forum

within this page users will be able to ask for advice within the indeful aide community. users will also be able to receive advice from professional psychologists.
