Legal Consult App - Visualization tool

Challenge

A year ago I got together with a group of lawyer friends with the aim of creating an app  called “Legal Consult”, in which people or companies that need any type of legal advice  can find a lawyer more easily. In this app, you could view the lawyer's profile with relevant  data about his work experience, his specialty and recommendations left by clients. During  the process of creating the app, the challenge focused on visualizing the design and  functionalities of the app, since we only expressed in words how we wanted the app, but  we did not use any means to view it. Therefore, we did not reach an agreement regarding  the design.

Selection

Visualization is an important tool during the process of creating a project, since it allows  you to access parts of our creativity that we do not usually use in a conversation (discussion).  It is important to highlight that visualization does not consist of drawing, but rather it is a  visual thought, which can be developed with images, photographs, videos or anything that  involves exercising the right side of our brain. In addition, with the visualization tool you  can manage to transmit your ideas and thoughts to the public.

Application

With my group of friends we met one day and decided to use visualization tools in order  to reach an agreement regarding the design and functionality of the app. In this way, we  use different tools to capture our ideas such as PowerPoint images, videos, photographs  and even drawings prototype.

First, we started by drawing on a whiteboard as we visualized the design of the app,  each one launched different ideas and included them in the drawing, until we reached a  first design with which we all agreed. Then we use a design tool to digitally capture the  drawing created on the board. This allowed us to choose the right colors, define the font  and size we wanted to use, and choose the images.

Finally, we decided to create an outline and video with which we can finish visualizing our  design idea and being able to show it to different people.

Insight & Approach

With the visualization tool, my group of friends and I were able to reach an agreement  and agreement regarding the design and functionalities of our “Legal Consult” app, since  it allowed us to carry out more visual communication. In addition, we learned that the more  images, videos or diagrams we use the easier it is to show a visual image of what we think  and with this we manage to align our ideas with other people.

We decided to use visualization tools throughout the process of creating the app, so when  we decided to present our app to the public we focused on using the appropriate  visualization tools to make the public understand the purpose of the app.
