What's the problem?

Fashion is one industry that has lots of impact ON different communities, It is one of the leading tools for every movement, as a Nigerian I have heard lots of takes on how hard it is to get in and get noticed either as a model or as a stylist or even a fashion designer. So many people don't even take that as a career path even if they have the passion. So how do we create a space or pathway for these people to get in the industry?

Now, let the Research begin

Questions I had ask users ❓

Now I started with the Problem questions to really define our Problems, get our users (Persona) , Ideas for a solution of the problem

Problem Redefinition 😈

How to create a community in the fashion brands where they can interact and connect, giving allowance for growth, Process, Mentorship and Opportunities ?

Hypothetical Solution 😇

HLets Create a social media to help connect the fashion industry ?

How would we make profit off these 💰

There will be premium accounts that give people the avenue to access certain features that are not available to everyone, these accounts will be charged with certain amounts

Assumed Users 👨

From the Problem Question above I was able to drive 5 hypothetical users for the application which are stated below:
Fashion Enithusiats, Stylists, Modeling Agencies , Fashion content Creators, Fashion Brands

I had to send Survey to different people to validate our Claim💰

Next we use a user survey to verify User Class and get a clear direction on how we want the application to go. Click the Link below to see the survey Responses sent out

First these are the demographics

Age Group between 18 and 25

45.5% were art Inclined, 45.5% were not sure, 9.15 were not art Inclined

This is the List of of Users and which where they ?

Insights

Competitive Analysis

I hade to look for Similar products and find what was missing in their experience to bridge the gap and win customers and potential Users

Personas

I need to get in the mind of the user to in fluency my design decision , So I had to create the idea User and under stand and articulate their Pain point to design properly

Wireframing and High Fidelity

Approach

First off.

I sketched out a wireframe envisaging my idea, it was quite rough? but I understood what I was doing

Then I had gotten a clear picture of what the design to look like so i refinned it

Great!!! Wire frames are done Next up High fidelity prototype

What do I think?🤔

Final Thoughts

Well as a product designer i understood there where other updates to be implemented but that solely depended on the feedback from this. One of the challenge i faced was trying to prototype the application so well for advertisement and for the developers, but i was able to do it after many tutorials. Another challenge was getting responses, but after re-sharing a series of times i got some responses.
