UI/UX case study checklist

If the reader doesn't understand the problem, they can't judge your solution.

• The problem is stated in a few sentences, near the top
• It says who had the problem and why it mattered
• One line says what your role was and what the project covered

The part most case studies skip, and the most important one.

• It shows what you looked at before designing
• It shows the options you considered, not only the final one
• It says why you chose the option you did
• Someone could follow your reasoning from problem to design

A few strong screens beat every screen you made.

• Only the best few screens are shown
• Each screen says what it solves
• Every screen ties back to the problem from section 1

A solution can sound good in theory and fail in practice.

• It says how you checked the solution was practical
• It says what you learned and what you changed because of it
• Any results are real, and nothing is invented

A short, honest reflection.

• It says what worked
• It says what you'd do differently next time

The checks that stop a good case study from being skimmed past.

• This project is one of your best few, not one of many
• Every section helps explain the problem, the solution or the proof
• It reads well on a phone, and the images are sharp but not huge
• The case study has a clear title that says what the project was
• There is a way to contact you at the end of the page
