My Role: UI/UX Designer
Deliverables: Components, Icons Asset, Illustrations Asset, Pages Designs
Creating Custom Icons and Illustrations
I create custom icons from scratch, ensuring they are consistent in appearance and adaptable across all sizes. Using Figma, I design and export icons in SVG format, then upload them to Fontastic for hosting those icons and easy access to the developer. I also integrate these icons into Adobe XD as reusable components to streamline workflows and maintain design consistency.
Custom illustrations made to fit the requirements of certain projects are my area of expertise. In order to create original designs that complement the overall theme, this approach starts with comprehending the brand identity and the project's visual direction. I create scalable vector images that are adaptable and retain quality on multiple devices, including mobile and online, using programs like Adobe Illustrator and Figma. The purpose of these illustrations is to reinforce the brand's identity while enhancing user engagement by giving a personalized touch.

Design
For the design of the Go Rentals online booking platform and real-time vehicle tracking system, Adobe XD was chosen as the primary design tool due to its user-friendly interface, robust design features, and seamless prototyping capabilities. However, during the design process, certain limitations within Adobe XD posed challenges, particularly its canvas size constraint. This limitation made it impractical to prototype all design components and workflows within a single canvas, given the complexity and scope of the project.
The online booking platform required intricate workflows, including scheduling vehicle pickups and drop-offs at various locations, while the real-time vehicle tracking system necessitated dynamic dashboards and maps. These complex designs exceeded the canvas space available in Adobe XD, making it impossible to consolidate all elements into one file. To address this issue and ensure the project proceeded without compromising functionality or design quality, a strategic multi-file approach was adopted.
Primary Design Files:
To manage the scope and complexity, multiple Adobe XD files were created, with each file dedicated to a specific module or feature. For example, one file focused solely on the booking interface, while another centered on the vehicle tracking dashboard. This modular approach allowed for greater flexibility and ensured that each component could be designed in detail without encountering canvas size constraints.

Dedicated Prototype Files:
Beyond the individual design files, separate XD files were created specifically for prototyping. This was necessary to ensure that user interactions and navigational flows could be effectively demonstrated and tested. For instance, the booking process prototype was housed in its own file to allow for seamless transitions between screens, while the tracking system prototype was developed in another file to capture the real-time updates and interactivity required for the feature.

File Organization and Cohesion:
A comprehensive file-naming convention and organization system were implemented to maintain cohesion across the project. Each file was clearly labeled based on its content and purpose, making it easier for team members to locate and collaborate on specific aspects of the design. Design elements, components, and styles were standardized across all files to ensure visual consistency and a unified user experience.

Collaboration and Handoff:
To bridge the gap between design and development, all XD files were carefully documented and supplemented with annotations. This documentation included detailed notes on interactions, transitions, and functionality, ensuring that developers could accurately translate the prototypes into functional products. Additionally, cloud-based sharing and version control were used to facilitate collaboration among team members and stakeholders, ensuring smooth communication throughout the project lifecycle.
