Typography

In the development of Reshare, I prioritized user-friendly design to ensure that anyone could easily navigate and find pre-owned kids' items. The choice of Roboto Serif in medium weight for headings and labels reflects my commitment to readability and aesthetic appeal, making the app both functional and visually appealing.

Usability Testing

Usability testing was conducted after creating a low-fidelity (lo-fi) prototype of the Reshare app to identify and address usability issues early in the design process. During the testing sessions, real users interacted with the basic version of the app, focusing on core functionalities such as navigation, search, and item listing. Participants were asked to perform key tasks, including signing up, searching for items, and completing purchases, while valuable feedback on the app's structure and flow was gathered.

Suggestions to Improve

One significant improvement suggested was to add an additional verification screen before the payment step to enhance the user's confidence and security. This iterative process pinpointed and resolved major usability problems, ensuring the app is intuitive and user-friendly before advancing to higher-fidelity designs.
