My Work
Layouts for V2
One of the main problems with the table and dashboard designs are that the list of pools is unnappealing, too clinically, and the dasboard design below is overwhelming with an incredibly huge amount of information presented at the outset.
The first design is a list of all the available pools of fixed & variable yields for which the trader can deposit into
The second design is the dashboard of a selected pool
My Work, continued...
Layouts for V3
There was a huge overhaul in terms of the information architecture, the overall navigation has been upgraded to reflect all the present and prospective products that Tempus offers and will offer.
Instead of a cluttered dashboard, there’s now a few UI Cards + a huge chart + an optional table showing the transaction history that’s hidden at default
Previously there wasn’t a “positions” view, rather you’d have to select the pool you deposited into in order to view your position
Instead of a table listing out all the pools, it’s now redesigned as cards with more whitespace and greater visual appeal so as to come across as more pleasing and enticing
