Much of the red seen in this version was eventually changed to black or grey, keeping in mind that red is a particularly strong color capable of stirring up strong subconscious emotions from users. Later in the design process I figured out a way to highlight functions and icons throughout my app without having to rely so heavily on the color red. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60255cd4dac3de6b1e99c19e/1620671654791-OV8MUHZMZS61PGMXDVQJ/High+Fidelity+inktank.jpg Work - Designing InkTank, the Tattoo Companion App (2020) While not always customary, I wanted to include actual tattoo images in my high fidelity wireframes. I did so to ensure that my designs did not take away from the images in any way. This proved to be useful when I saw the accessibility issues caused by some elements in my design for users with vision impairments. Some elements lacked the necessary contrast to be visible to all users. This issue along with others were highlighted during usability testing, and their solutions are detailed in the next section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60255cd4dac3de6b1e99c19e/1614183739644-LWMC5DCHH23F8OWLK5ZW/Onboarding+improvement.jpg Work -
