Define the app concept, research user needs, and produce wireframe flows
2 weeks
Before any visual design work, define the core problem the app solves, identify the target user, and conduct lightweight research (3–5 user interviews or a structured competitive analysis of 3–5 similar apps). The research output informs the information architecture and prevents designing solutions to assumed problems. Produce a complete set of wireframe flows covering all primary user journeys — wireframes should communicate the information architecture and user flow, not the visual design.
Proof required
Submit your research summary (3–5 user interview notes or competitive analysis of 3 apps with feature comparison table), a user flow diagram covering the primary journeys (sign-up, core feature, and at least one secondary flow), and wireframes for all screens in those flows. Wireframes must show the information on each screen and how screens connect; visual design choices (colour, typography, imagery) are explicitly excluded at this stage.
What gets checked
- Research informs at least one specific design decision — not 'I interviewed 3 people' but 'I interviewed 3 people and all three mentioned that they abandon apps that require registration before trying the core feature; the wireflow therefore shows a guest mode entry point'
- User flow diagram covers at minimum 3 flows (sign-up, core feature, one secondary) and shows every screen transition and decision point
- Wireframes communicate information hierarchy without visual design — all text is real content (no 'lorem ipsum'), layout shows relative prominence of elements, navigation is shown
