Assignment Brief and Guidance::

You’ve decided to start a career in UX/UI Design. The market for User Experience and
User Interface Design jobs is booming and there’s never been a better time to become
a Web Designer or Product Designer. To get a job in the field, you’ll need a great
portfolio. As a beginner you should design the product detail page for a product on an
ecommerce website. A product detail page is the page on an ecommerce website that
describes the product you’re considering buying, showcases it visually, and lets you
actually add it to your cart or purchase it directly. Depending on the product, a visitor
might be able to customize specific features like size and color, read reviews, and
view other technical specifications.

Start by coming up with a company. For this project, you can either choose a real
company that sells products online or a fictional company you come up. If you choose
a real company, think about industries you like and identify a company whose
ecommerce conversion rates or overall user experience could be strengthened by a
redesign. If you come up with a fictional company, think about industries you’re
interested in that sell some form of product online and choose a product to sell. This
could be anything from fashion to digital products.
 Process to follow for these projects:

Part-A (L01& L02)

1. Research and plan an appropriate User experience and User Interface Design
and concept with specific target to satisfy the end user.

Part-B (L03& L04)

2. Design a User Interface concept of an e-commerce website and evaluate the

feel of end users and their feedback to improve the steps in future versions.
