IMEI Scanning
UI/UX Design

During a 72 hours design-sprint, with a team of HKR students from the Computer Science and Engineering program, we designed an IMEI scanning application.

We started analyzing the written brief and took all of the important components out and wrote them down on post-its. We sorted them into main functions and secondary functions - a backlog for the whole project.
We did a flowchart, making sure we wasn’t missing any details. To move on from here a sitemap was created followed by simple wireframes. From there I did some quick and dirty prototypes. Having the user test focusing on the questions 1. Try scanning a IMEI number, 2. Can your write an IMEI number manually and how would you do it?, 3. Try to find your saved devices, 4. How do you cancel/go back to the beginning when scanning?, 5. How do you save a device?
After trying my hypothesis I had about the design I started to look for inspiration and started designing. Of course the design can’t live in a vacuum and some issues started to appear with the design during the development of the application.
