UX Design Study of Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Tasks: User Journey, Paper Prototype, Flow Chart, Wireframe, Usability Tests & UI Mockups

Tools Used: Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, Nintendo Switch (to capture images)

Project Length: 7 Weeks

This study was done as part of ELVTR's UX/UI in Gaming course with Ivy Sang. For this study I wanted to focus more on understanding the UX design process and implementing ideas into an existing UI style, rather than building one from the ground up.

Challenges

•    Understand the game from the user's point of view

•    Identify potential gaps or problems in the game flow

•    Conduct user testing to further observe said gaps

•    Develop solutions to potentially reduce found issues

•    Maintain the UI style when implementing solutions

Outcomes
