MAGE SCAN
Mage Scan is a tool invented for Magento developers to give updates on signs of outdated software, missing patches, and general bad practices for e-commerce sites.
The tool scans online stores that are built on Magento and gives the user a snapshot of the e-commerce site.
Mage Scan is not my first tech centered client, but it was a different type of target audience. Developers, specifically invested in the Magento platform. The client asked for a modern look with an easy and entertaining interface.
“I wanted to show a glimpse of humor in the design, plus add some light heartedness to the “your store gots problems” model. ”
There was also the problem of how to display information in an informative and visually appealing way, while drawing attention to certain security threats that were more important than others.
I sketched some wireframes and discussed with the developer some options, we came to the conclusion that color was going to play a major role in the different categories of mage scan features.
After the initial flow was decided I started adding the magic to Mage Scan. I created blocks on the about page that still remained a clean, developer friendly aesthetic. And at the same time through simple illustrations gave Mage Scan the playful look suggested by the logo.
