This is the second challenge for us UX-UI Design Bootcamp students from the Ironhack group. It consists of designing wireframes of an application that we use often using interactive tools and user flow. For this challenge, I have chosen Linkedin as a professional social network.

Linkedin is a professional and commercial social network that allows interaction between users, allowing the creation of great professional contacts. It helps with the commercialization of commercial services of different companies and allows you to follow commercial profiles of large companies. This platform also works as a means of informing about trends in different professional fields today. This platform allows you to store your professional experience in your profile, facilitating the job search.

Why LinkedIn?

This application provides a good experience when creating your network of professional contacts among other functions. It is also very effective in job search, personally, it has helped me a lot. I really like this application because I can be informed of the progress, changes and updates of information in different fields of interest.
Personally, this application makes me feel very good because it lets me see all my progress at a professional level, achievements that I had even forgotten I had. Also, all the time he is informing you of the job offers available. LinkedIn gives you recommendations and offers courses in different fields.

Final conclusions

This challenge was really interesting. I learned how to better use Figma as a design tool. I discovered how interesting the structure of a web page can be, how important it is to know how to design good logic in its interaction, and above all the importance of studying our users to understand and design according to their needs and behaviour.
