UI IMPROVEMENTS

01. Grid
Using a 12 column grid and separating sessions in blocks, helped organize content and made the changes easier in responsive design.

02. Colors
Greens and reds that indicate positive and negative were changed by arrows and data became easier to read. Loud and quiet colors were balanced to guide the user eyes and to provide hierarchy.

03. Chart
The chosen chart works well with a few items and variables, and JamiQ has only 3 items (Entries, Influence and Sentiment), two variables (time and visitors), and just 7 data points.

04. Visual Relief
A clean layout with high margins made the interface softer.

Final Words

The most interesting part of the project was learning how to keep so much information readable and light. I learned that the secret of a dashboard interface is great information architecture work to drive what elements should be grouped according to the user needs, and a correct use of white space to determine the relationship among different information. In a dashboard, more than other user interfaces, the colors are very functional and can determine the success of the project.
