Adobe FormsCentral

Design Consulting @ DV:UX
2014


Project Overview

Forms central is a web-app for easy form creation.

While working as a UX designer at DV:UX, I had the opportunity to contribute to Adobe FormsCentral. FormsCentral is an Adobe web-based form creation application. The application allows users to distribute forms digitally, collect form data and create or customize forms and form templates. I primarily worked on visual designs for the template section and new work flows for the form creation UI.


 



Interface Updates

Our goal was to create a less intimidating appearance, specifically in regards to the "custom-form" workflow. We offered suggestions to improve the user experience with respect to initiating a new form, as well as the template display UI, which was originally an overwhelming interface.

In the template selection screens, the original design listed all template categories creating an overwhelming interface that was difficult to navigate quickly. We explored solutions that would reduce the number of categories initially shown to users. We chose to only displaying the top categories, allowing users to reveal more advanced sections should they need them. editing form editing screen
