Inter Continental Exchange

Inter Continental Exchange

Problem

The application needed to be developed fast and still be effective in order to get in on the crypto market at the time.

Solution

We patterned the core functionality from similar apps in the market that were already successful this cut a lot of design time and testing that would be priority in later versions depending on the apps success.

Overview

The Bakkt crypto wallet application was created to facilitate the buying and selling of crypto currency using the platform of the intercontinental exchange and this app as its facilitator. The app was the first of its kind for the organization which previously dealt primarily with brokerage firms and as a third party on various web applications.

As a UI UX designer & Developer I took on a hybrid role at the intercontinental exchange and worked on various aspects of this project

Persona

The process I use for persona is the same as a writer who dreams up his characters as he is writing a story. I sometimes use known celebrities or popular figures with backstory that fit the personality type Im looking to expound about. Types are broken into a myriad of different category including but not limited to ;

  • Needs

  • Personality

  • Problem

  • Feelings

Though these distinctions only make up a fraction of the possibilities the persona itself is a key instrument used to profile the user in such a way that allows me to cater to the specific needs of the target audience in areas such as;

  • buying habits

  • areas of interest

  • preferred way of communicating

  • price points

  • advertising and much more

Wireframe

Wireframing is the process of design that determines how an app will flow. The elements are placed in relationship to their need, use, and importance. The most common strategy to placement is a balance between when and how the element may come into play the wireframe is a quick and easy way of determining which flow is the least cumbersome for the user.

Mood Board

A mood board was not created for this project because of the time constraints and the fact that the client just wanted to follow generic guidelines for apps similar to other crypto currency apps with the brand name as the focal point. the color pallet was derived from another popular application which will remain nameless and the focus on the purpose of this presentation.

Style Guide

Style guide is a formulation of the colors font and font sized used for the various elements within the application focusing on contrast readability and appeal the style guide ensures a congruent look and feel throughout the interface and experience for a more streamlined effect overall. Specified colors for call to action, as well as set sizes for main, sub, and body text, are just a couple of examples a great style guide can really make an application pop and be understood at the same time.

Prototype

The prototype is the closest thing to a finished app the client can use to visualize the finished product and can be easily manipulated to meet the clients vision and needs down to the last punctuation.

The link provided is a sample of the full application I worked on with Worldpay its function is to simply demonstrate my abilities with font manipulation color placement and prototype creation It is not a full flow this flows features are:

  • look and feel

  • scrolling product cards (vertical & horizontal on one page)
