This page contains information on the Web Hob design project we ran with the London-based agency <a href="http://tobias.tv/">Tobias & Tobias</a> between January and March 2013.

Introduction

Web Hob is a web-based interface to the Yocto Project. The agency Tobias & Tobias were hired to start the interface design process, following a previous strategy engagement that established priorities and a high level plan for the Web Hob project.

The design work happened between January and March 2013 and was structured like this:

  • 3 design iterations
  • 2 rounds of user feedback

The outcome would be a set of static wireframes, a web-based prototype and a visual design framework.

Prototype Index

Sprint Version Stage Scope Link
1 1 I,III Build analysis prototype
2 1 II,III Projects and builds prototype
2 2 II,III Projects and builds prototype
2 3 II,III Projects and builds prototype
2 1 II,III File browsing and multi-user prototype
2 2 I,II,III File browsing and build analysis prototype
2 4 I,II,III All scenarios prototype
2 5 I,II,III All scenarios prototype


  • Sprint is the design sprint (or phase) during which the prototype was produced. There are 2 design sprints in this project.
  • Version indicates how many iterations of each prototype we created as part of the design process
  • Stage refers to the Web Hob stages identified by Tobias & Tobias and outlined further down this page
  • Scope indicates, at a high level, which scenarios are addressed by the prototype
  • Link to the Yocto Project git repository where the prototype is hosted


Visual design

Visual design work by Tobias & Tobias started at the beginning of March. They agreed to deliver a set of GUI components and 3 screen mockups:

  • My activity dashboard
  • Build dashboard
  • Package information

The thumbnails below show the visual design work as it was delivered over time. I've grouped them by page, so that it's easier to see how they evolved.

Final versions were delivered on Friday, 22nd March 2013. This is the agency's final piece of work: it doesn't mean it will be the design we will implement. Changes might come based on community feedback.
