PROJECT GOALS
To create an effective, efficient, and well-received user interface
For the purpose of this project, while working for Matrix internet, evaluated the user experience of the Irish Car Rental website.
The usability test objectives were:
  • To determine usability problem areas within the user interface;
  • To pinpoint the following possible problem areas:
    Navigation errors – failure to locate functions;
    Presentation errors – failure to locate and properly act upon desired information;
    Control usage problems – improper toolbar or entry field usage;
  • To exercise the application under controlled test conditions with representative users. 
The data gathered was used to guide the research and direction of the website redesign with the goal of achieving an effective, efficient, and well-received user interface.

Timeline
Initially, we evenly allocated our time across research, UX design, developing the design system, and facilitating UI and component handoff. However, as we delved deeper, it became apparent that certain areas demanded more focus and often overlapped. As a team, we adapted swiftly, collaborating closely to synchronize efforts and meet our deadlines effectively. Crafting
a Brand To ensure a cohesive brand identity for the IrishCarRentals website project, I developed a bespoke set of illustrations. This custom illustration style came complete with comprehensive guidelines, empowering the client to generate additional illustrations seamlessly whenever needed. Our emphasis was on offering the client diverse avenues for expanding the illustration library within the same aesthetic framework. By furnishing additional assets for potential future scenarios, we ensured consistency in the visual language even beyond the completion of our work. Moreover, we provided modular versions of the illustrations, enabling the client to mix and match elements while preserving the brand's integrity and illustration style. Crafting
bespoke icons A key feature of the design was its emphasis on visual communication. To enhance user experience, I crafted a collection of icons aimed at swiftly informing users of features. Incorporating icons not only streamlines the users journey but also adds a visually captivating element, rendering interactions more engaging compared to relying solely on text. Surface colours Surface colors affect surfaces of components, such as page, sections, banners, and icons. Text colours Use on-surface for elements like buttons, icons and text on navigation and tabs. Icon colours Apply on-surface colors to elements that appear on neutral surfaces, primary icons and secondary icons. Interactive colours Use interactive colorus for things like links, focus indicators, and selected interactive states. A bold Visual
Presence. I selected the Satoshi font for the IrishCarRentals website project due to its distinctive characteristics. Satoshi is a Swiss style modernist sans serif type family that strikes a balance between graceful rounded shapes and precise angular details. This unique blend lends an air of sophistication to the typography, making it a fitting choice for the website.

One of the key reasons for choosing Satoshi was its versatility in weight, offering a range from Light to Black. Given my intention for the website to be highly visual, I sought a typeface that could elevate the overall aesthetic. The varying weights of Satoshi allow for dynamic typographic hierarchy, enabling clear communication while maintaining a bold visual presence. This flexibility makes Satoshi well-suited for branding, editorial, and poster design, aligning perfectly with the multifaceted nature of the IrishCarRentals website. Creating a
