Datashed - Brief Progress

I have completed most of the work for this brief so far, and just need to send off my progress to the client. I am really happy with how this has gone and have found the brief really enjoyable, they have been a pleasure to work with and have agreed with the majority of my design decisions. There have been minor changes to make from the previous crit but I feel I have addressed the issues and produced a consistent body of work which represents the company well and illustrates the companies product well. Hopefully there aren't too many changes to make from this point on. I still have to make arrows etc on top of this but I will speak to the client about there views on this.

The Main Data Shed Image

From the last crit we decided it was a bit too orange so I added in a bright yellow to give contrast to the image. This image works well to sum up the company and illustrates simply what the software does. Basically sorting out a big heap of data into a manageable format for companies.

Single Customer View


This image illustrates the single customer view element to the software which allows you to piece together bits of data which combines to make one person. Ofter people have various different intereactions with companies be it online or in store, this function allows the user to piece together them interactions and build up a profile of that one customer without risk of duplicates. The jigsaw man is made up of various data, and the datashed solves these difficult problems.

Analysis Tools & Dashboard
Click to View


This GIF explains the nature of the Dashboard and the analysis tools, showing that when you add more data the information and stats change to suit the new input, by showing multiple buttons adding information it emphasizes the flexibility of the software. The GIF also shows the userbility, and reorganization aspect of the dashboard showing how the dashboard can be re aranged to suit the specif user.
Icons


The other part of the brief involved creating a set of icons to use on the website. After the crit I had with them last week we settled on the 8 icons we would use and work on, here you can see the development stages, I had to make alterations so that they worked in series, this involved playing with line strokes and spacing.

Here are some alternate icons I will show to the client but I am not that happy with them
 
Final Icons

Here are the final Icons, they work well in a series and follow the brand guideline colour scheme. Hopefully they will be happy with how they have turned out. I am happy with how they look and got good feedback from my peers so I am confident they will be happy with them.
