Internship Experience
Design skill
The first thing I learnt about making wireframe is “as little color-coding as possible”. Since we are handing our design to the visual designer after they got approved by the business, if we have too many color-coding in the wireframe, the visual designer maybe constrained with their design. Secondly, I have learnt not to throw too many details in a wireframe, or the listeners might be distracted by the details rather than focusing on the design itself. One thing I really appreciate in Enterprise Rent-A-Car is that during our design process, we got feedbacks frequently. In business meeting, those who are the heavy users of the application will be walked through the design by us and give us feedbacks based on the walkthrough. We don’t need to wait until the application gets implemented to receive feedbacks from the users. Last but not least, I realize that giving multiple design options is a good idea. For one, the technical team won’t feel that they are forced to accept the idea we come up with. Instead, they are involved in the selection and design process. Additionally, it’s easier to sell the idea you favored since the others can see the difference and compare those alternative designs.
