TASK

Exercise 1 

We are tasked to find local apps ; personal helper app, to understand the ux design and benefits for our final project. 

We have to identified by

1. Affordances
2. Significant
3. User Journey Map
4. Feedback

I choose "Maideasy" which is booking the cleaner through the app. While navigating the app, I focused on the layout of the home page, icons and how they lead me to book the cleaner.

However, after the first presentation, I made a mistake for each sections, and re analyse the ux design.

For exercise 2, we are choose any service app at cinema, restaurant, retail shop and study the app ux design and its procedure. Also, we have to visit the store and purchase the items.

For my case, I choose "BoostUp Juice" app, which is ordering or customising the fruit juice through the mobile app. My overall experience of ordering the juice was a bit confusing because there was so many gestures  to navigate, and selecting the prefer ingredient was difficult.

REFLECTION

It was first time that studying the ux design. Throughout the studying different app's ux design, I find that it is interesting to explore how the developer experiment with the layout to give smooth navigation to the users. Before that, I did not look carefully with the layout when I was using the app, but after learning the basic of ux design, it makes me to study how the designer create such layout.
