Redesign an Executive Revenue Dashboard for an E-Commerce Marketplace
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Redesign an Executive Revenue Dashboard for an E-Commerce Marketplace. Intermediate challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Redesign an unused executive revenue dashboard task-first and ship a Figma prototype rationalized against perceptual and visual-encoding principles.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Elicit analytic tasks from non-designer stakeholders without leading them
- Apply Cleveland-McGill encoding rankings to real dashboard choices
- Use Munzner's what/why/how task taxonomy to structure layout
- Defend visual choices in writing against a sceptical executive reader
