Hey Aesha! Great idea!

I think some of the most interesting research projects might be just looking at existing websites you love to use and thinking on what you can improve or make faster. That way, you have a foundation to start on and you don't have to come up with some entirely new. Its also a great way for employment if you want to work at that particular place.

Good luck with your search!

Prithvi’s Answer

Hi! There are multiple ways you can look for a UX/UI project. Below are a few of our suggestions from the UX team at SAP:

1. When going about your day-to-day life, sometimes you may feel frustrated while trying to accomplish a task. These problems which occur in day-to-day life are great potential UX projects. For example, you may realize you are often frustrated when ordering lunch. You can then explore how you can create a stress-free and pleasant ordering experience.

2. Find a broad space which interests you (eg: E-commerce, Medicine). Then, list down the common problems which come in mind and narrow it using voting/design thinking. And finalize the idea/problem which you’re going to solve.

3. As a student, you can start with the things that you’re interested in or curious about, and then do some user interviews or coffee chats with people who interact with it on a daily basis. By learning from those people, you will find what excites them and what frustrates them, so that you can get an idea of what would be the problems to tackle with. Optionally, you can search for what other companies or businesses are doing to deal with the same problem, and see how you can improve the solutions furthermore.

4. You can find like-minded people who have similar interests as you. As a group, you can conduct different design thinking exercises and present the solution to people who might have the same problems.

Hi Aesha!


Find a topic, website, etc you're interested in! As long as there are people involved, there will always be UI/UX issues that can be improved upon. After you've narrowed that down, start talking to users to understand what they like/dislike, sources of frustration, etc. With that rich data, you'll have a clear sense as to how the product, service, or website can be improved.


Best of luck and have fun exploring!


JJ

The process of finding inspiration to create a fresh UX/UI design can be difficult, but there are many avenues that you can use to ignite your imagination. Here are a few strategies to help you brainstorm ideas for your next project:

Know the requirements of your project Be sure to fully understand the objectives, audience, and limitations for your venture. This will give you an understanding of the project's requirements and will aid in focusing your thought process.


Find solutions that are already in use. Study the existing designs and solutions within identical or related areas. Seek out successful and unsuccessful examples to determine the things that work and what doesn't. This analysis will provide an overall view and assist to identify areas for improvement or even innovation.


Examine feedback from customers If you have an existing product or service you are working to improve collect feedback from users and comments. The feedback you receive from customers can give invaluable insights into the user's problems and areas in need of improvement. Utilize this feedback to generate ideas to address these specific problems.


Conduct surveys or interviews with users Reach out to prospective users as well as conduct surveys and interviews to collect the first-hand data about their preferences, requirements and issues. Direct interaction with customers can help generate thoughts and ideas to help you design an experience for users.


Brainstorming sessions. Schedule the time to think about ideas in a group or just by yourself. Utilize techniques such as sketching, mind mapping, or making mood boards to look at diverse ideas. Allow for free-flowing thinking and avoid your judgment in the initial phase of thinking.


Find inspiration from other fields Explore other fields and find inspiration from different disciplines like fashion, architecture, nature or art design. Applying concepts from various disciplines can provide fresh perspectives to your design.


Stay up to date with the latest trends in design Be informed of the latest trends in design as well as new technologies. Platforms such as Dribbble Behance, Dribbble, as well as Awwwards are able to provide an inspiration as well as insights into the current techniques in design.


Start by prototyping and then iterating: Begin making low-fidelity models of your ideas, and collect feedback from your stakeholders or potential users. This method of iteration will assist you in defining your ideas and discover new possibilities.


Keep in mind that the search for inspiration can be a constant process, so it's crucial to remain open-minded, curious and adaptable. Explore different strategies Don't be afraid to try new things and think outside of the box. Learn more here: UI/UX Design Course in Pune

Janardan’s Answer

One area that is very important and is picking up importance is accessibility. Accessibility ensures we create UI that is inclusive to all types of users, irrespective of their abilities. There are many products which are great and functional for people with "general" abilities. But, there is lot of scope to expand the UI to cover people with "other"abilties.

You can start by testing products for Accessibility and start designing them to be more inclusive. This is good to start as a hobby and also industry needs experts in this areas.

Angela’s Answer

Hi Aesha,


Working on a side UI/UX project is great but you do not have to reinvent the wheel. Really examine the products you use on a daily basis and think, "if I were to make this product, how would I design it?". You can apply this thought process to any product: digital or physical. Once you have an idea you would like to focus on think about the user journey, hierarchy of information and UI design. Create your own hypothesis about how these changes would improve the user experience and test it with people to give you feedback.


Good luck!

Hello Aesha !
you can get new ideas in different ways :
1- check your daily used applications
2- using Behance, dribble, .... to get inspiration
3- Ask yourself "What is the application that can help me in my daily life ( or solve a problem )? "
4- Ask AI to give you more ideas but you can also show your creative side making it true.
good luck!
