About Me + 3 things I learned from Apple HIG

About Me

My name is Chuyi Sun. I am from China. Currently, I am the first year MFADT student. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego as a studio art major student. After one-year internship experience in graphic design, I am trying to transfer to be an UI/UX designer. I am a big fan of comic, game and music apps.

3 things I learned from Apple HIG

• Widgets on the Search screen and Home screen

iPhone provides the widgets for people to quickly and easily to view the useful information from an app without the need to open it. It not only provide a more efficient way for users to get notice but also use a creative way to attract users to open the app. Because if the widget shows some interesting notices or information about the app, the user will open the app to check that.

• Integration with Siri

The Siri is one of the artificial intelligence that applies on iPhone for assisting users to finish their tasks easily by using voice commands. Currently, the voice recognition of Siri can recognize different languages. The Siri interface also provides another easy access for users get useful information quickly. It reminds me when we design the app, don’t forget to provide a concise notice or information widget for Siri interface.

• Expanded Notifications

The expanded notification allows users to press their notification or swipe the notification down on an unlocked device. It also provides users a connivence to take immediate action without leaving their current context. It is really useful when we need to do multi-tasks. It provides more possibilities for users to finish their tasks quickly and efficiently.

Stamp Stamp:

The thing that I have learned from the feedback:

•       There is no return button, people are not able to go back to the landing page.          – I revised the “Near” button and made it link to the “landing page”.

•       The redeem context is not clear and not obvious.

– I enlarged the text and also make it bold.

•       On the landing page, it will be better to see their stamps. (motivate people to collect the stamps)

– On the landing page, I added some restaurants which they collect the most stamps.
