CMD Digital

Research/Visual design

We were instructed to develop a new platform for CMD. It is important that students can go here to ask questions and to search design methods during this project.

About CMD Digital

CMD DIGITAL is a platform for CMD students at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. On the platform, they can search for design methods and share their own projects with fellow students and teachers or ask for feedback.

Discover

First, we researched where the students' pain points were and what they would like to have on the CMD platform. We have made a survey, containing the most important questions we want to know.

Development points

We looked at which areas we wanted to improve ourselves. I want to get better at visual design, front-end development, prototype, and branding. I wanted to develop prototypes because I want to get better at Figma.

Questions for survey

We had to come up with questions for the survey.  As a team, we know exactly what we want to know during this phase. We wanted to know from the students where they get their design methods and whether they like having a CMD platform. We also wanted to know if they want to learn more from their fellow students and teachers.

Survey

The survey provided enough information so that we can proceed with the define phase. It emerged that CMD students need to get to know each other in an informal way and also to be able to view informal information from the study. CMD students would like it if the platform offers different methods and design information.

Customer journey map

To better understand the target group, I made a customer journey map to provide insight into the pain points. Because of this, I know which pain points they feel during the phases they are going through.

Define

As a team, we outlined the problem during the define phase and started looking for a solution to this problem. We have applied various methods to arrive at a solution.

Disney method

While devising a platform, I suggested to the team to use the Disney method. The reason why is that you can think of anything that doesn't exist. This was easier, so we were free to come up with different platforms.

Research poster

By means of a research poster, we were able to give a visual overview of our research that was done in a short time.

Design

Wireframe

To break free, we chose individually to create a wireframe. I chose to make a wireframe on my computer. I already got a lot of ideas and had in mind to create a platform where every CMD student from Rotterdam can search and share projects, like a forum or a blog.
