Criterion.com Case Study
Self-directed thoughts on a usability problem
PROJECT OVERVIEW
As an avid fan of The Criterion Collection, I noticed that their website does not provide an option to include Out of Print titles into My Collection. I designed a small but important solution that I believe solves the problem.
NOTE: In August 2020, criterion.com incorporated part of my Case Study into their website. Users are now capable of adding Out of Print titles into My Collection.*

THE APPROACH
A Use Case defines all the ways to use a system to achieve a particular goal. I made sure to define the user’s needs with a sequence of simple steps and then mapped the User Flow. The user journey begins with searching for their purchased movie and ends with the user successfully adding an out of print movie into their collection.
