Case study for UI?
Most Junior designers think that their initial case studies need to showcase the entire UX process, with multiple instances of research – to be considered “good UX”.
This is not really the case, unless you want to become a UX researcher. If, however, Design is your passion, you don’t need to treat your case studies as overcomplicated, tl:dr term papers.
The goal for your portfolio and as a result for your case studies is to show the recruiters or clients that you understand how to solve problems using design. It’s not about ticking boxes for personas, empathy maps and so on.
What’s important is to show that you take conscious decisions, based on (some) research and you understand all the principles necessary to create a successful product.
And because people “buy” with their eyes (including recruiters) I will teach you how to write a case study (including some basic research you can do) for your beautiful UI shots.
Case studies like that are less boring, more visually engaging and make it easier to actually find a job.
