As a designer, I’m thrilled to share my very first AI tutorial video with you all. In this post, I’ll walk you through my recent project where I designed a Quiz App prototype, showcasing how AI tools can enhance the design process while maintaining creative control.
The Journey Begins
Design work often happens behind the scenes, with much of the effort invisible in the final product. That’s why I decided to create this tutorial – to pull back the curtain and show the intricate process that goes into creating a polished user interface.
Embracing AI in the Design Process
My journey started with Claude AI, which played a crucial role in the foundational stages of the design process. I leveraged Claude to create wireframes and explore different user journeys for the Quiz app. This allowed me to rapidly iterate on the user interface and experience decisions before moving into visual design.
Through multiple rounds of refinement with Claude, I was able to map out various user flows and interface layouts, helping me understand how users would interact with the app and what design elements would best serve their needs.
Finding Visual Direction
The visual design process began with creating a moodboard, drawing inspiration from Dribbble’s trending designs. This helped establish a contemporary aesthetic that would resonate with our target audience.
Birth of SnapLearn
While a splash screen wasn’t initially required, I saw it as an opportunity to set the tone for the entire application. The name “SnapLearn” emerged from combining the quick, interactive nature of Snapchat with our focus on efficient learning – perfect for our teen demographic.
Leveraging AI Image Generation
The project showcases the power of modern AI tools:
- Ideogram for initial image creation
- Rekraft for AI vectorization
- Gemini’s Imagen 3 as a backup when faced with server capacity issues with Ideogram
Refining in Figma
The final touches came together in Figma, where I:
- Enhanced icons
- Refined typography
- Incorporated a lightbulb icon into the logo
- Optimized the layout for maximum usability
User Experience Considerations
The quiz interface was designed with careful attention to:
- Optimal space utilization
- Clear information hierarchy
- Dynamic progress indicators
- Engaging feedback through toast notifications
- Adaptive celebration screens based on user performance
Looking Forward
This project demonstrates how AI tools can be integrated into the design workflow without compromising creativity or quality. Each tool served a specific purpose, from content generation to image creation, allowing me to focus on the core design decisions that shape the user experience.
I’m excited to continue exploring the intersection of AI and design, and I hope this tutorial provides valuable insights into modern UI design processes.
