Abstract

This final undergraduate project presents the research and development of the concept and the graphic user interface and navigation of a mobile application aimed to exchange students. For this, the author made use of Garrett’s methodology, that defines the interface development in five plans. During execution of the project steps, it was necessary to conduct research over the identified problem, analysis, questionnaires and tests with the target audience. Therefore, it was sought support in concepts and guidelines of interface and usability design, from a bibliographic study. These researches and methodology allowed the creation of alternatives that could be thought and designed in a way that the final result would represent an effective, intuitive and accessible solution. The developed application aims to provide an online platform for exchange students, providing useful information about each step of an exchange program and allowing the sharing of personal experiences and the interaction between the users.
