Darko Antanasijevic: Work

Welcome to my humble home! You can see basic information about software projects here. Design methodologies are described on the Process page.

P3 Group • Taxi Suite

P3 Group – Client
Application suite – Scope
Lead UX Designer – Position
6 weeks – Duration

➜ Case study

Under is a versatile taxi application suite for customers, drivers and dispatchers. Includes taxi hailing app, taxi driver app and web-based taxi central software. It was built for all markets to support both local customers and business travelers with automatic travel expenses report generation and in-app payments.

I had defined the visual language for the suite: the logo, typography, colors, icons, interaction state styling, etc. Then I have specified design requirements for consistent look and feel between mobile and web apps of the ecosystem.

I was leading, coaching and supervising a less experienced colleague while we were creating mobile interface elements, screens and interaction flows. I have created key screens for responsive web app in desktop, laptop and tablet sizes.

In an agile environment, we were aligning on design targets with the rest of the team. Most of the communication was verbal and little or no documentation was available during the design process. We were elaborating the needs and goals of user roles, defining features, permissions and views for each app. We supported the development team with design deliveries on their MVP timeline.

Asseco – Client
Software platform – Scope
Chief UI Architect – Position
6 months – Duration

➜ Case study

Asseco’s banking software needed new design paradigms to support creation of mobile and web applications, while updating the existing desktop solutions. The major update of the existing software platform was codenamed Multichannel Banking.

I have created a modern design language, aimed at delivering consistent experiences across all channels, devices, screen sizes and interaction types. I refined the design language by examining the synergy of its elements while testing it on comprehensive examples. The result remained relevant years later.

I was part of a working group for the new platform. I contributed to the working group’s agenda by designing a high-level design manifesto, based on group feedback and my competitive online market research.

At the same time, as a Chief UI Architect, I was leading internal design efforts around the existing platform and the ongoing product development. We were creating custom product features while devising and harvesting new platform features.

Volkswagen China – Client
Mobile application – Scope
Lead UX Designer – Position
4 weeks – Duration

Re@charge iPhone app finds and books charging stations for electric vehicles. Connects with smart stations and executes in-app payments for charging services. Promotes nearby shops, gives discounts and offers pastime around charging points.

Based on several feedback iterations, I updated the prototype to make it suitable for vehicle owners in Beijing. Once the team was satisfied, I prepared the deliverables and forwarded them to the remote development team.

Deutsche Bahn – Client
Embedded application demo – Scope
Lead UX Designer – Position
3 weeks – Duration

Embedded app for train station self-service terminals was designed for 46-inch touchscreen devices with QR code scanner. It can read data from a passenger’s ticket to simplify disability assistance request procedure.

Local business analysts conducted a bare-bones on-site research and provided rough drafts and verbal inputs while requiring a very rich feature set.

I had to conduct an extensive online research about the functionalities that can be included into the prototype to design the demo for self-service kiosks.

The demo used interactive animations to showcase location services and POI search within a train station. It included other contextual features like lost and found, bike and taxi transportation, train search, delays, etc.

ZF Transmissions – Client
Application suite demo – Scope
Lead UX Designer – Position
3 weeks – Duration

A custom-tailored software suite was devised specifically for ZF Transmissions factory lines. They needed the ability to monitor production errors, receive notifications and respond to them from any location and any device.

Business analysts defined exhaustive set of requirements and provided inputs in the form of detailed diagrams, drafts and sketches.

I have designed high-fidelity screens and interaction prototypes for web and smartphone apps. Designs demonstrated visualizations of production line statistics, warnings, errors and breakdowns to meet all the requirements.

The web prototype included interactions for customization of dashboards and monitoring times. The styling was based on company’s design guidelines.

BMW – Client
Web portal & CMS – Scope
Lead UX Designer – Position
3 weeks – Duration

The responsive intranet portal provides links to BMW intranet websites. I have designed user-side screens with content variations in responsive screen sizes and administration screens for user permissions management and portal pages configuration and editing.

Portal configuration supports customization of layout, images, links, grouping, hierarchy nesting, visibility, etc.

The client provided very basic information and some provisional wireframes to demonstrate the desired feature set. We dealt with lack of documentation and deficient specifications during the design and development phase.

I participated in all scrum meetings and project-related discussions with the management and development team to synchronize on all aspects of the design.

I had communicated with the Business Analyst to understand the requirements and build Volkswagen’s business procedures into the designs. I have compiled interaction prototypes and performed numerous updates of the design until the client was satisfied.

After the approval, I provided the development team with design deliverables, specs and explanations.
