Intro
Adinovis is a digital platform that empowers the auditors to engage with their clients, firms, and partners during the auditing process. For the first time, team members will no longer need to communicate and share files through email constantly. By integrating collaboration tools and back-end databases, all team members are now able to stay on one platform and work closely.

Our user, Edwin, is overwhelmed by the current auditing process. During his work, he often uses different digital solutions for different tasks and purposes. This fragmented workflow decreases the efficiency of the auditing process and adds unnecessary pressure on his shoulder. He needs a new auditing software that allows him to work closely with his clients and team members.

The challenges
During our design process, we have faced different design challenges and constantly meeting the deadline or milestone. Time and budget don’t allow us to research design. Our research went parallels while designing wireframes and solutions. After my first two-day mass production, we iterated the design decision with the client, the users, and the development team along the way.

One of our design decision was to capture the retro-UI structure that has applied to the current industry-standard software, CaseWare. Besides, we also inspired by the Windows Vista OS from the 90s. We combined our study with Google material color to give our new design a familiar work style and a comfortable modern visual motion.

In my early design for the navigation, we adapted some retro UI elements to bring in some familiarity to the design. Those elements included line and folder icons. The design for the navigation menu was mainly focusing on how to quickly guide the auditors to navigate based on their behaviors or work habits.

We discovered that auditors like to memorize different categories by their initial letters. It was the main reason we decided to customize the folder icons with the English letters. In the later version of those icon sets, we changed the letter size and contrasted to increase visibility and readability.

When designing the visual layout, most of the measurements align to an 8-pixel grid applied, which aligns both spacing and the overall layout. Smaller components, such as iconography and typography, can align to a 4dp grid.
