Project
UI Design for a mobile library application.
Brief
For this project, I wanted to create an interface design for an online library where people can easily borrow e-books and audiobooks and listen to them directly from the app. The app itself will connect to the local library in that specific town. The app needs to be easy to navigate and give a personally tailored experience to the user. The users should also be able to loan and return books from the app.
The Concept
With the app, the users should feel like they have their local library in the palm of their hand. They could easily see which local library is connected to their account, which books are being borrowed and how long the loan duration is.
Other features that would also be useful for the users are:
- Days tracking of the book’s loan period.
- Book loan history.
- Easy-to-extend book loan.
- Book Recommendation.
Proto-Persona & Sketches
To help me with the design process, I created a proto-persona with a short description of a specific type of user using the app. I also added a specific quote from the persona that she wishes to be able to do with the app.
Jane, 18 Years old
Proto Persona
University student.
She likes going to the library to study.
She likes to listen to music and a gadget-savvy.
Mostly using her mobile phone to do different chores.
“I would like to check for the library opening time and to borrow books easily.”
