Creatives are eager to grow and refine their skills, they find inspiration and motivation by engaging with creative communities. However they struggle with time management and feel overwhelmed by stream of new things to learn.
How can we create an online learning platform that assists creatives to manage their time and engage meaningfully with a supportive community?

To gain a better understanding on the topic, I did desk research looking into various learning methods, how they worked and why they worked. This research later helped define the final idea and the purpose behind most of it's features.

Retrieval practice and spaced repetition are most helpful
Main focus on learning is the content and how it’s taught
Real-world learning and lifelong education is crucial in industry
Blend methods/knowledge from various different disciplines

User Research
User Research
We initially had assumptions on our target audience which I then turned into survey questions, asking relevant questions to better understand what tools help creatives to learn, how familiar they are with new tech, their time management and what motivates them, this let us clear our assumptions and later identify a problem. By sharing on online sites, the survey gained over 90 respondents.
Some significant insights found are:

Creatives struggle with time management and often feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of new things to learn, they feel motivated by an interactive supportive environment as it allows them to feel inspired and get help when needed.
Our learning platform, Creators Supply, solves this problem by utilising an innovative feature like an AI time schedule and many community focused features, like community ranks, stats, profiles and posts. This new modern way of learning also adheres to scientifically proven learning methods, leaving creatives confident that they will improve their skills.

Usability Testing
Usability Testing
A couple screen concepts were tested early on, I chose to do this so designs were quickly improved upon and validated before going ahead and starting the final designs. This let us test a variety of concepts all within our deadline.

Client Feedback Implementation
Client Feedback Implementation
During a feedback session with our client, they were interested to see how the learning platform would function on mobile. That's why I designed and prototyped some screens that showcased our main USP; the AI powered learning schedule. This required me to transfer the web contents and the brand style onto a smaller screen, it was vital that I didn't remove any key information or make unintentional design changes.
To reduce cognitive overload, within the learning plan page, I separated the user's progress from the scheduling screen. Doing this made it a lot easier for the user to take in relevant information and easily access their schedule if needed.
This allowed me to create an app concept consistent and familiar with the website’s clean, minimal and professional visual design.
