Social Media App UI Redesign
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
This project involves analyzing the user interface (UI) of a popular social media sharing app, such as Instagram, and identifying key usability or design issues that negatively impact the user experience. The aim is to redesign at least five major pages from the app using custom layouts, improved font choices, optimized iconography, and enhanced grids, all crafted with Adobe XD.
Problem Identification
One recurring problem in Instagram’s UI is the cluttered navigation and lack of intuitive access to features like Stories, Direct Messages, and Explore. Many users report confusion with hidden menus and non-obvious icons, contributing to slower navigation and reduced user satisfaction.
Solution Approach
The solution starts with a thorough audit of page layouts, typography, icons, and grid systems used by the app. After pinpointing navigation clutter and icon ambiguity, the redesign will:
Simplify navigation by introducing a clear bottom bar for primary actions (Home, Search, Upload, Activity, Profile).
Use consistent, labeled icons to make features more recognizable.
Increase white space and leverage modern font pairings for improved readability.
Design and prototype 5 key pages—Home Feed, Stories, Direct Messages, Explore, and Profile—using Adobe XD to visualize changes, ensuring a cohesive and user-friendly experience.
Deliverables
Annotated UI sketches and Adobe XD prototypes of 5 redesigned pages.
A short written explanation of the initial problem and the design-driven solution.
