Justin's Designs
Searching Design
- This design allows users to search for pictures, and it pulls up related ones as well.
- It shows when devices have last been synced to the site, so users can have an idea of where the offline pictures they want might be.
Efficient Design
- This is the super-efficient design.
- Intended when users want to find and share pictures as quickly as possible, it leads them right through the steps.
- Their linear progression to the right in going through all steps communicates to them exactly what they need to do next.
Ownership Design
- This design offers two alternatives for a graphical layout indicating to the user pictures that have been recently added to the site, and with whom they are shared with.
- The first approach uses more orderly rows, while the second attempts to use Venn diagrams in showing pictures that are shared with different groups.
