Duration
Q3 2022 - Q1 2023
Executive Summary
There was an issue with how the page displayed on the product, so I suggest we make the elements in our product user interface more uniform.
Problems & Hypothesis
problems
In FishLog we have several digital products that we have from warehouse records to finance to B2B marketplaces, but over time these products have their own identities and are not unified between one product and the other. So it looks like the product stands alone and is not unified, which represents the company.
Hypothesis
The team thinks we need to maintain the user interface. Keeping it uniform between products will help, and it will make developers quicker because they won't have to search for a UI KIT.
Audit
Gather All Component UI
We evaluate the existing UI components, pattern libraries, and design policies to identify the areas of improvement. It is the first step in revamping an existing design system.
Organize and monitor continuously
For optimal performance and ongoing updates to the Design System, we created and approved a fundamental style guide that outlines color, font types, order, spacing, and other elements. We plan to reassess these standards at a later time through design system audits, which are standard evaluation practices within the UI/UX design field.
Style Guide
Planning is a crucial part of any process as comprehensive as a design audit. Before analyzing any UI elements, it is important to have a clear idea of the aims and objectives of the design audit. And we developed a guide to assist us in creating our design system in the future.
Challenges & Improvements
Breifly analyze you and your team’s performance, you may mention:
Time limitation
In-team communication
The team still lacks knowledge about design systems and how important this is
Project Outlook
This Design System is in the beginning stage and will improve in the future. There will also be more components added later.
Learnings
The lesson of this project was how the team and I aligned the designs of each of us as designers. For me personally, it is a challenge to be someone who leads a small team that has different design tastes and different views.
