Chart Formatter - Redesign
MY ROLE AS SR. DESIGNER
Information Architecture
Process Mapping
Wireframing
DESCRIPTION
I lead the redesign for FactSet’s chart formatter found in 5 main charting applications within the overall workstation.
The chart formatter is an engine that reads a chart display and allows users to edit and format the data's aesthetics and its layout's overall look and feel. Users can customize every object on a chart anywhere from legends to axes, titles to series, and background colors to font styles.
STEP ONE:
Information Architecture
As the lead interaction designer and part of the redesign, I gathered information from the existing formatter and created a features list. From that, I created a features organization and information architecture which consisted of level, object, and attribute structural charts. With this information, it helped guide the overall design through each step of the design process.
STEP TWO:
Process Mapping
STEP THREE:
Wireframes
Finally, after all the information restructure, I created wireframes to show the newly designed and updated chart formatter. The process was both very iterative and collaborative. After being approved, the wireframes were passed on to the next phase of design - visual design.
