Divergent Thinker. Dad. Grown in Idaho and currently planted in Los Angeles, I’m A UX/UI Designer with roots in Graphic Design. After 10 years in the print industry and 4 years of focusing on my dad duties, I dove back into design to add to my skillset. When I’m not perfecting pixels or empathizing with users you can find me either in the saddle of a bike, practicing my very novice surfing “skills” in the South Bay, or scouring a record shop for obscure vinyl. https://www.chrisblack.design/mirror-case-study daily 0.75 2021-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/1633933854363-2X9EJWFT11JP892VWK7J/Hero+MCS.png Mirror Case Study https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/1633924228373-JRAXDML66XOCKAHHUF7X/research-ramp-up-by-chris-black.png Mirror Case Study To position Mirror among other big brands, I conducted a competitive analysis to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of current and potential competitors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/1633926593657-V1NKZBVXMNBXEKXM2R0R/Screen+Shot+2021-10-10+at+9.27.34+PM.png Mirror Case Study - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/1633927092702-Y6J6M3EUD4N2O4VWMX3T/Screen+Shot+2021-10-10+at+9.37.57+PM.png Mirror Case Study - Sitemap To guide the construction of the site’s information architecture, A card sorting exercise was conducted with 8 participants.

Most participants agreed that locations belonged in the About Us category however, participants were unsure where to place Kennel Sponsorship and Programs and Initiatives. The most unanimous categories were locations in the About Us category, animal type in the Adopt category (which included dogs, cats, and rabbits), and adoptable pet search belonging in the adopt category. The organization of these cards tells me that each user has a different perception of where those items fit within the navigation of the site. A possible solution would be to merge some categories within the navigation menu as well as provide further detail about the specific function of the menu item to help the user differentiate between menu items and their prospective tasks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/e62197bf-aeaf-4ca9-aeaf-0bf6b169b2c6/LAAS+User+Task+Flow%401.7999999523162842x+%281%29.png Los Angeles Animal Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/9e573ca0-eb86-4645-a187-6720dc98656a/LAAS+Sitemap%401.7999999523162842x+%281%29.png Los Angeles Animal Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/e73376b8-ac9b-41bb-a1cc-6b9aeb45aed6/sketches.png Los Angeles Animal Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/5e170b19-cd15-4a2e-b932-c77688e94b8c/logo.png Los Angeles Animal Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/cc1c3a0d-90ed-4a9e-a4c4-0125d692b45d/download.png Los Angeles Animal Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/f9f8ec29-64d3-4dce-85eb-f311c11a092b/LAAS+UI+Kit.png Los Angeles Animal Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/e1c8d7b7-fede-4c81-9ae9-b1a4ed194534/Screen+Shot+2021-12-10+at+7.46.00+AM.png Los Angeles Animal Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/10a1dc76-41dc-4a3c-8b1a-7f8cfd55dcc3/Screen+Shot+2021-12-10+at+7.43.46+AM.png Los Angeles Animal Services https://www.chrisblack.design/graphics daily 0.75 2023-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/a8e4254d-87ae-484a-9dd2-af375bff4d47/Cover.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/6b033d42-41bc-4a09-8eb2-6a9dee336f97/4%2Bweek%2Bplan%2B3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/8e25c2b1-864c-4b5f-b9bd-e37e22e27cb3/root%2Bveg.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/5e77255f-2c8d-4528-9368-aebfcb667cf0/Bcc%2BKit%2B1%2Btop%2Brevised-01-1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/c24d8ff8-1383-47ea-b20b-f7d283b71e0e/Bcc%2Bkit%2Bbottomrevised-01.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/395adcf6-087f-4eb1-b5e5-fb8253f04013/Kit%2B1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/78d27d1e-cd6c-4736-a5f2-58859233cb0d/Kit%2B2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/e0cbcc29-afa7-4771-91cf-71e6a7962d2d/Screen+Shot+2023-09-08+at+12.38.24+PM.png Graphics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/2e65fa51-c979-46c7-be4f-cc411e202840/FERMATA_logo4-01.jpg Graphics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/d970bc13-b9ec-4eb7-a088-f12d5aa66872/Screen+Shot+2023-09-08+at+12.37.49+PM.png Graphics https://www.chrisblack.design/featuredworks daily 1.0 2024-05-10 https://www.chrisblack.design/featuredworks/mirror monthly 0.5 2022-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615933d4dbc5d440d99943fe/052accf5-0c03-4058-bf8a-10f42940f7d6/Research+Ramp+up+Mirror.png Featured Works -
