UI x UX
User Interface: Design the product
User Experience: Design the experience
UI + UX = Interactive Excellence!

Usable, Equitable, Enjoyable, Useful
Usable: The design, structure, and purpose of the product is clear and easy to use.
Equitable: Design is helpful to people with diverse abilities and backgrounds.
Enjoyable: The design delights the user
Useful:  It solves user problems

Know the problem!
Make a problem statement
Background of the problem ➜ People affected ➜ Impact
Who is affected by the problem?
What is the problem?
Where does this problem occur?
When does the problem occur?
Why does the problem occur? Why is the problem important?

After the lecture we were tasked with task 1 which is to find 1 mobile application and breakdown the affordances, signifiers, mapping and feedback for the UX design. Do not that we make it into a document!

As our final project is to make a fashion e-commerce / shopping app, we need to find an existing fashion app that connects with our topic for project...

To decide that, my group need to first decide the niche of our project. As Ms. Anis explained to us to make an app for a niche fashion style for our final project!

Our group decided to make a list of our ideas of what fashion niches we want to do and we then do a poll ( we did that for weeks :O as we all r indecisive)

Figure 1.1


Although we did come to camping/glamping style.. It is a broad and blurry style. Then we try to narrow it down to a style that involves in glamping situation and often it has a bohemian style and vibes to their attire, accessories, and decors.
There are not many fashion bohemian style brand or store that is famous/well known that has application, so for this task i opted to find well known and trendy fashion brand, at first because we were thinking about making a "community platform" in our app for the customer, I chose "Depop" as my application for me to break down their affordances, signifiers, mapping and feedback.
But then I feel like, to make a better application and using this as a reference to our future application design, I decided to do "ZARA" application.
