It was a task that involved research, planning and daily reflection.Research was focused on specific aspects of the platform design theme, such as usability, navigability, and ergonomics. In the context of the desirable balance between graphic design and usability, its importance as a tool in design was underlined.Based on the investigation, this document describes in detail the steps that allowed the achievement of the dissertation objective.
