Using a mixed-methods approach, we plan to conduct a survey and a series of interviews with artists who use Arty to showcase their work.
- Challenge
- One of the main challenges of designing Arty is creating a user-friendly interface that meets the needs of both artists and art enthusiasts. The app must be designed in a way that makes it easy for artists to upload their work, communicate with other artists, and manage their sales. At the same time, it must also provide art enthusiasts with a visually appealing and engaging experience that allows them to discover and purchase artwork from a wide range of artists. The design of Arty presents a number of challenges that must be addressed in order to create an effective and successful app.

- Arty, as a mobile application, has been developed using a holistic user-centered design approach, considering artists' needs and the nuances of the digital art marketplace. The design thinking process started with empathy to understand artists' pain points and their need for a supportive, inclusive, and functional platform to showcase their art, collaborate with peers, and sell their work. From these insights, we developed user personas and journey maps, identifying key touchpoints that would influence user experience. Our ideation process focused on solutions that integrated these needs into a cohesive, intuitive user interface.
- Operation and Interaction
- The Arty app operates as a platform where artists can create a profile, upload their artwork, and sell it to visitors. The app also provides social features that allow artists to connect and communicate with each other, and tools to manage their transactions and earnings.
