User study

fter performing a competitor analysis, we interviewed the gatekeepers of our target users and conducted a mobile survey with them. This research aimed to understand children's behavior, preferences, and the reasons that could persuade parents to purchase the products. From this, we gathered several insights...

Persona

Based on our findings and insights, we created two personas, which are...

Functional Map

After defining the functions we need to provide (through user surveys, findings, insights, and personas), we created a functional map.

In this part, we need to analyse which sections will allow parents to assist the children (onboarding page, settings, output, input, etc.), and which sections the children will use alone (drawing page and related functions).

For the sections where parents will assist, we can add some words to guide usage. However, for the sections that children will use alone—especially for those who may not know how to read—we need to keep the user flow as simple and intuitive as possible.

Wireframe

To facilitate clear communication with the project manager and developers, I created wireframes and user flows to explain the next steps. Additionally, I wrote clear guidelines to explain the wireframe pages in detail.

UI Design

The biggest challenge was ensuring that children could understand the meaning of icons without textual assistance. Since our target users are children aged four and above, and considering that children aged 4-6 may not yet be able to read, we needed to design icons that could be understood without words.

Additionally, we needed to ensure that parents could understand how to operate the tablet. The most complex aspect involved saving or deleting artwork. Given the limited memory capacity of the tablet, some functions were adjusted to require an SD card. We also had to consider how first-time users would understand this requirement.
