Mobile app redesign and prototype creation

The bachelor thesis focuses on the redesign and prototype creation for the mobile GIS application Kimobil, utilizing the Design Thinking methodology and current trends in UX design. The aim of the thesis is to enhance user experience, modernize the interface, and integrate new features requested by users. The theoretical part addresses the disciplines of application design, methodologies in UX design, and provides a detailed exploration of the Design Thinking methodology and characteristics of a well-designed prototype. Furthermore, it identifies the fundamental trends in today's UX design. The practical section includes an analysis of the current state of the application, market competitors, target groups and stakeholders. This is followed by the design process, in which user research is conducted, problems are defined, ideas are generated, a prototype is designed, and testing is undertaken using the Design Thinking methodology. The research is carried out through in-depth interviews with application users. The prototype is designed following traditional practices such as heuristics, Gestalt principles, human interface guidelines, and applies the defined trends. In conclusion, the prototype is tested with users through testing scenarios, and the results are evaluated together with a check to ensure that the goals have been met.
