Car Console

Project Overview

Humane Beauty is a website I conceptualized to offer viewers a place to learn about cosmetic animal testing and cruelty-free testing in a simple, straightforward way without being triggering or too emotionally distressing. Cosmetic animal testing is a topic which can be overwhelming to learn about, to know where to start, and to keep updated on this topic. That's where the idea for Humane Beauty came from; to help others learn about this topic without being bombarded with distressing information or images making it too overwhelming to learn about.

Project Overview

This project focused on designing a streamlined and intuitive infotainment system for a car console. Through in-depth research and user testing, I developed a system that prioritizes ease of use, minimizes distractions, and ensures drivers can focus on the road while seamlessly accessing key features like music and navigation.

The Problem Statement

Drivers need a console system that is easy to navigate and understand while driving, allowing them to focus on the road. Distractions caused by complex or cluttered interfaces can compromise safety, making it essential to streamline functionality and layout.

The Solution

I designed a clean, minimal infotainment system with intuitive navigation and essential features prioritized for ease of access. The final design incorporated feedback from user testing, ensuring a safer and more efficient experience for drivers.

The Process.

    • Researched existing car console systems to understand current design trends and functionality.

    • Conducted user research via surveys to identify pain points and desired features.

    • Analyzed findings to highlight key user preferences:

      • Simple, clean design with minimal clutter.

      • Easy-to-follow navigation with only essential features.

      • Music and navigation as top priorities.

      • Minimal necessary information on each page for reduced distraction.

    • Parsed research using the 4 W’s and 5 Why’s to deepen understanding of user needs.

    • Developed a problem statement to guide the design process.

    • Created a user persona to symbolize target users and their needs.

    • Sketched initial lo-fi wireframes and developed mid-fi prototypes to establish layout and navigation.

    • Designed a high-fidelity prototype that reflected the refined design and user insights.

    • Built interactive hi-fi prototype to simulate the user journey and test functionality.

    • Created a clean interface with an intuitive layout that prioritized essential features.

    • Conducted in-person user testing with a structured script to observe interactions and assess usability.

    • Used notes and observations to refine the prototype:

      • Simplified the overall look by changing the toolbar from gray to white.

      • Moved home buttons vertically to the left for easier driver access and consistency.

      • Added the ability to select and display frequently used streaming platforms.

      • Updated confusing audio symbols to more recognizable icons.

      • Introduced dark mode with a single-click activation for easier switching.

    • Delivered a refined high-fidelity prototype that aligned with user preferences and enhanced safety, offering a more intuitive and distraction-free console experience.
