2. A computer application needs a UX designer, just like
a house requires an architect. The designer should be
part of the team from the very beginning.
User scenarios and application simulations help define
a better product. Quick design iterations form the
basis for focused team discussions.
The pixel-perfect simulation can serve as a
requirement document for coding.
3. The designer’s challenge is to combine technological
capabilities with user requirements so as to create
intuitive and friendly products.
It is not a problem, but a riddle.
Following are some of the solutions I have designed.
4. Pharmaceutical Reference System
2002
Requirement:
Enable urgent identification of pills in Emergency Rooms and Pharmacies.
Solution:
The search runs on
type, shape and color
categories.
Results show large
photographs and
minimal text.
Hovering over a
specific pill shows
more details.
Clicking on a pill
navigates to the full
data page.
5. Silicon Wafer Quality Inspector
2003
Requirement:
Ease inspection and selection of fault correction processes.
Solution:
Wizard-type arrow
buttons guide the
beginners, while
specific action
tool-bars are
available for
advanced users.
6. 3D Photo Maker
2004
Requirement:
Design process for creating, editing and printing 3D photographs.
Solution:
Separate applications
for the three user
types: Photographer,
Designer and Printer.
7. Forest Management System
2005
Requirement:
Simplify the process of reference definition, tree counting and report generation.
Solution:
The main image is
set above three
reference areas.
Accordion type
drawers on the left
provide access to
the main processes.
Buttons on the right
change according to
the selected process.
8. Hospital Ward Management System
2006
Requirement:
Quick insight and control for overworked hospital staff.
Solution:
Based on
architectural floor
plans, color-coded
beds provide an
overview of the
ward’s status.
Drag and drop
interaction is used
for changes and
transfer of patients.
9. Portfolio Management System
2012
Requirement:
Measuring the status and relevance of multiple enterprise projects.
Solution:
Flexible platform
with user-defined
categories is used
for data collection.
Values are
summarized and
shown as bubbles in
4-axes graphs.
Animating status
snapshots exposes
trends and provides
insight.
10. Workflow System
2014
Requirement:
Orchestrating complex business processes in enterprise organizations.
Solution:
Flexible and powerful
editor for creating user-defined
diagrams, steps
and tasks.
Data-based Condition
Steps enable automatic
flow in addition to
manual Decision Steps.
The diagrams provide an
overview of the process
while the system
generates tasks and
notifies predetermined
users.
11. Visual Update
2014
Requirement:
Create new look for existing enterprise applications.
12. Every development process is different
Your technology and requirements are specific
Your riddle deserves a specialized solution
Your application should stand out
Your design should be unique
