User interface design
Layout design of Xara Cloud ...
The UI for Xara Cloud has changed multiple times over the last 5 years. Due to adding new features and tools. Here is just a small sample of the scale of the project. These include the UI Design (Light and Dark mode), the Content Picker, the Brand Creation Wizard and the Company Admin section.
Content pickerCustom built Content Picker that navigates Template folders and the users own Cloud Drives. There is also a section of pre-made templates. From, presentation, letters, brochures, flyers, websites etc. Many of these I also created, but using smart technology like one click colour scheme changes and magic page resize.
Company admin panelThis was quite a big project. We decided to make the app work within a Team environment. This meant creating a custom built Admin section. The complexity here was that there are 3 types of admin rights per company. Guest, Member and Admin. This meant that depending on your admin rights, some content would not be visible. Any changes made in this interface would fire off a notification email to all parties concerned. That was also a big job and another story…
Brand creation wizardUsing a unique & smart colour theory and logo replacement, once a users completes the Brand Wizard, they can open any document and all colours, fonts & logos automatically get replaced leaving the document in the company brand magically. Not to mention smartfields too. Open a template or document and somehow all email addresses, telephone numbers and address update to your current company details. Some of the theories to make these work were my own.
