So many products and services are now available online, and competition is fierce. It may sound harsh, but it is human nature to judge things by appearance when it comes to purchasing things online. Thus, UX designers must be highly skilled at using code (computer language) to make products look amazing! UX Designers can change the outlay, color, and design of almost anything to test what works best, and makes people buy the most! Give it a try in this CSS design challenge:
STEP 1: Use these CSS Flip cards (codepen.io) to experiment with User Experience design! Manipulate the CSS flip cards by using the HTML and CSS code outlines at the top. Change the following variables:
-Color
-Text
-Image
STEP 2: Pick something you’d like to make a UX interface (in other words, a screen that shows something) for. Imagine you’ve been hired by your favorite clothing line, candy brand, sports team – whatever you want!
STEP 3: There are three CSS Flip cards (at the link above). Use them to make three different UX interfaces – in other words, three different versions of a screen – for the item you chose in step 2.
STEP 4: Show your three CSS flip card designs to at least 4 family members and/or friends. Have them vote on which UX interface they like the best, and why. Take notes on their feedback to help you improve!
STEP 5: If you desire, implement any feedback you received. Then take a screenshot of your winning CSS flip card. Upload it to the Student Showcase along with a description of WHY it was the winner – build your resume as a UX Designer!
