• Responsive Design: Ensure consistent and functional experiences across different screen sizes and devices.
• Complex Interactions: Solve challenges related to file previews, drag-and-drop uploads, and multitasking within the platform.
• Accessibility: Build interfaces that meet accessibility standards while maintaining visual appeal.

Opportunities to Enhance Your Skills

Design Skills

• User-Centric Design: Strengthen your ability to create designs that balance functionality and aesthetics based on user needs and feedback.
• Prototyping: Master tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch to create interactive prototypes that communicate design concepts effectively.
• Accessibility: Develop skills in designing inclusive interfaces that adhere to accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG).
• Data-Driven Design: Gain experience in using analytics and user feedback to refine and iterate designs.

Collaboration Skills

• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with developers, product managers, and contributors to bring your designs to life.
• Feedback Integration: Enhance your ability to gather and implement constructive feedback to improve your work.
• Documentation: Learn how to create and maintain design systems and style guides for consistency across the platform.

Stages of Prototyping

1. Low-Fidelity Wireframes
   • Develop basic layouts to define content hierarchy and core interactions.
   • Focus on translating requirements into tangible concepts and validating the flow of the user journey.
2. Mid-Fidelity Prototypes
   • Add more detail, including typography, spacing, and grayscale components.
   • Focus on functionality and test core interactions for usability and logical workflows.
3. High-Fidelity Prototypes
   • Create fully interactive prototypes with polished visuals, animations, and transitions.
   • Collaborate with developers to ensure accuracy in implementation and functionality.
4. Usability Testing
   • Use the high-fidelity prototypes to conduct usability tests and collect user feedback.
   • Iterate on designs to address pain points or enhance the user experience further.
5. Design System Integration
   • Ensure the design components created during the prototyping process are added to the design system for consistency and scalability.

What You’ll Gain

• Real-World Impact: Shape how teams collaborate globally by designing interfaces for a widely-used platform.
• Skill Development: Hone your expertise in user-centered design, prototyping, and accessibility standards.
• Portfolio Enhancement: Add high-quality designs for a live project to your professional portfolio.
• Global Networking: Collaborate with developers, engineers, and contributors from around the world.
• Flexibility: Work remotely and contribute on your schedule while delivering meaningful design solutions.
