Tiivistelmä
This portfolio-based thesis presented a collection of four UX/UI design projects completed during bachelor’s studies. The thesis aimed to demonstrate how UX and UI design principles were applied in practice across websites, web applications, and mobile applications. The objective was to analyse the implementation of UX and UI design principles, usability, accessibility, and responsiveness within the selected projects and to examine the development of professional competence. The scope of the work was limited to projects carried out individually during the last two years of study.
The theoretical framework drew on digital product design principles, while contemporary practices supported the selection of methods. The empirical section was implemented through project analysis, in which each design case was examined in relation to its goals, target users, theoretical background, methods, and design decisions. The methodological approach included heuristic evaluation, expert assessment, competitor analysis, surveys, interviews, prototype-based usability testing, and automated accessibility checks.
The results have shown that UX and UI design principles were effectively applied across multiple technologies and were supported by structured processes and appropriate methods. The portfolio has demonstrated consistent use of theoretical concepts and has revealed situations in which practical constraints influenced methodological choices. The discussion concludes that the aims of the thesis have been achieved, as the projects present clear development of analytical thinking, design reasoning, and professional competence. Future development is recommended in strengthening research practices through a combined methodological approach.
