International Rugby Board Laws – iPad App Redesign Design by: Zoe Fisher
Student Project. General Assembly UXDI Winter 2013
About the App: The International Rugby Board (IRB) Laws of the Game mobile and tablet application allows rugby referees, coaches and players the ability to learn, reference, bookmark, search and test their knowledge of rugby laws. !"IRB Laws of the Game App Redesign: "For my personal project I chose to redesign the IRB Laws of the Game application. My goal for the redesign was to improve the presentation of the content so that the user would not be overwhelmed when using this content heavy application. "The main changes that I addressed were: • Adding in individual screens • Presenting less content at one time • Moving the bottom navigation to a top-left side bar menu
CASE STUDY
Research:
Research: Method & Findings: I researched sports and sports official/referee related apps. I found a very limited amount of sports official related applications and the majority of them did not present content very clearly or concisely. "Opportunities: The Federation Internationale Football Association (FIFA) application does a great job of presenting a heavy amount of content in a visually pleasing and easily understandable way.
User InterviewI did one in-person interview with a rugby referee. I had him try out the current app and give me feedback. He had not used the app before because it is only available on iOS and he is an Android user. His thoughts: " “Too busy, not good use of space, just not nice. It works but I would prefer to use it on my phone because the the layout is so busy on the iPad.” "Opportunities: Simple, small improvements will greatly improve the app.
Design Iterations:
Design Iterations:
PrototypeMethod, Set Up & First Run & Core Experience I created a prototype in Flinto. The happy path is for the user to find and view laws, view the help video, and bookmark a law. ""
