Overview

Frame, a bimonthly publication dedicated to interior design, architecture, product design, and exhibition design, has established itself as a leading force in the design industry. Founded by Robert Thiemann in 1997, Frame Publishers in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the driving force behind this renowned magazine, known for its captivating photography and in-depth coverage of the latest trends and developments in the design realm.

Challenge

Frame is at a pivotal juncture, poised to embrace the digital revolution by transitioning from its print-only roots to a thriving online presence. This transformation is not merely about keeping pace with the times; it's a strategic imperative to not only safeguard the company's future but also amplify its financial standing.

Our primary goal is to consistently deliver digital solutions that are deeply rooted in FRAME's brand identity while navigating the ever-evolving landscape of digital publishing. We must also actively seek innovative revenue streams to counter the declining fortunes of the print industry.

This delicate balance requires us to maintain design integrity, prioritize user experience, and harness the rich legacy of print. Close collaboration with stakeholders and the development of a cohesive design strategy are essential to overcome this multifaceted challenge.

Approach

In addressing the project challenges, my role as a UI designer for FRAME via our agency was integral to designing interfaces from the ground up, closely collaborating with the UX designer to align each solution with FRAME's unique identity across various digital products. Some of them are:

  • Login and Registration: Constructing an intuitive user onboarding process for a seamless experience.

  • Frame Awards + Project Submission Wizard: Designing a clear and user-friendly submission wizard for effortless project submissions.

  • Article Pages: Crafting layouts that deliver a cleaner and improved reading experience.

  • Headers + Menu: Redesigning for enhanced navigation, optimizing the user journey.

  • User Backend: Developing a comprehensive user dashboard, article library, submission interfaces, and settings for better user control.

  • Paywall: Introducing subscription models to generate revenue for FRAME.

  • Webshop: Building an e-commerce platform for online purchases of magazines and books.

This approach highlights my hands-on involvement in the creation of interfaces that not only address specific challenges but are also intricately woven into FRAME's distinct identity.

Role

My role extends beyond traditional UI design tasks. I wear multiple hats, acting as a bridge between design, development, and stakeholders to ensure the success of our digital transformation. Here's a breakdown of my key responsibilities:

  1. Collaboration:

    • Facilitating teamwork: I collaborate closely with the UX designer and developers, ensuring design concepts seamlessly translate into user-centric products.

    • Cross-functional communication: I bridge communication between departments, aligning print design vision with technical requirements and business objectives.

  2. Instructional Design:

    • Clear communication: I create clear and concise design instructions for developers, ensuring accurate understanding of design concepts, user interactions, and visual aesthetics.

    • Notion Ticketing System: I utilize platforms like Notion to create detailed roadmaps for developers, minimizing discrepancies and ensuring a smooth development process.

  3. Design Process Leadership:

    1. Comprehensive design system: I established a design system to maintain consistency across FRAME's diverse digital products and define key elements that contribute to the brand's unique digital identity.

    2. User-centric design thinking: I apply design thinking throughout the process, driving ideation, prototyping, and testing to guarantee solutions align with user needs and FRAME's brand identity.

  4. Quality Assurance:

    • Manual testing emphasis: I prioritize manual testing over automation to identify inconsistencies that might be missed by automated tools.

    • Feedback loop integration: I continuously incorporate manual testing with user feedback to refine design decisions and drive continuous improvement.

  5. Outcome Assessment:

    • User-centric focus: I focus on user experience through regular assessments of design impact on engagement, satisfaction, and interaction. This guides further refinement for user-centric solutions.

    • Brand alignment: I collaborate with print designers to ensure seamless integration of digital designs with FRAME's print identity, maintaining consistent brand representation.

By orchestrating collaboration, providing clear guidance, leading a user-centric design process, ensuring consistency through testing, and refining outcomes, I contribute significantly to FRAMEWEB's successful digital transformation.

Design process

The design process commenced with collaboration, focusing on understanding the print designer's vision and aligning goals with the digital realm. Applying design thinking methodology to each digital product, this involved:

  • Establishing a comprehensive design system with critical elements, styles, and components to ensure consistency across various digital products.

  • Conducting brainstorming sessions and ideation workshops to generate innovative design solutions.

  • Collaboratively prototyping with the UX designer, iterating based on user feedback and real-world scenarios.

  • Emphasizing manual testing over automated processes to identify and rectify design inconsistencies.

  • Clear communication through detailed design tickets for developers, minimizing discrepancies during the development phase.

  • Continuous manual testing and feedback loops are integrated throughout each iteration to validate design decisions through real-world situations and refine them based on practical insights.

Design tool

Design tools such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop were instrumental in creating and iterating designs.

Key design decision

Iterative Prototyping with Manual Testing

In the design process, a pivotal decision was made to adopt an iterative prototyping approach, placing a deliberate emphasis on manual testing over automated procedures. This strategic choice aimed to enhance the overall design quality by fostering a heightened attention to detail and ensuring the identification of nuanced inconsistencies that automated tools might overlook.

Rationale:

  • Enhanced Detail Orientation: The decision to iterate through prototypes manually was rooted in the understanding that a more hands-on, detail-oriented approach is essential for identifying subtle design nuances. Automated processes, while efficient, may miss the intricate aspects that contribute to a polished user experience.

  • Training Ground for Acute Awareness: Viewing the iterative manual testing as a training ground, this approach served to cultivate a team-wide acute awareness of design details. It became a valuable arena for designers to refine their perspectives, honing their ability to spot and address potential issues throughout the design process.

  • Nuanced Problem Identification: By deliberately choosing manual testing, the design team aimed to identify and rectify design inconsistencies that may have been overlooked by automated tools. This nuanced problem identification approach contributed to a more refined and polished final product.

This key design decision significantly influenced the design process, ensuring a meticulous and detail-oriented approach that ultimately contributed to the success of FRAMEWEB's digital transformation.
