Elk Grove Library

SPECS
Adobe Illustrator

DETAILS
This was a project I developed for a mobile web design class I took while pursuing a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction at DePaul University in Chicago. The assignment required the use of a user-centered design process.

I used survey and interview responses from the target audience (i.e., library users and staff) to determine business and user goals. I used this information to develop several levels of prototypes, from simple sketches to an interactive interface. I involved my classmates in an expert evaluation of the higher fidelity prototype (rendered in Illustrator). I implemented their feedback into the interactive prototype I created using the program Axure. I then tested the usability of the mobile site with library users and staff.

The screenshot of the mobile website represents the school project I submitted. I implemented the data I gleaned from this assignment into the library's actual mobile website, which runs on a third party platform called Library Anywhere.
