Wireframes were drawn to crystalize the user flow. The hi-fi prototype was created to provide an easy-to-use interface for the user.
Informal testing is done by inviting friends and family members to test the prototype and share feedback. The feedback is then used to iterate the prototype. Some screens are removed because they created confusion in the user flow. The colors used in the prototype are reduced and changed to only yellow in order to create a clean interface and clear path of showing the user where to focus.
