Design and Develop Website Prototype for Amateur Illustrators in Thailand

Abstract

The objectives of this study are twofold: to explore the factors influencing the design and development of a prototype website and to design and develop a prototype website specifically for amateur illustrators in Thailand. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with three target groups: three well-known illustrators, seven novice illustrators, and three commissioners who hire illustrators. By analyzing and synthesizing the data, a prototype website for amateur Thai illustrators was designed and developed. The Design Thinking and Double Diamond Model methodologies guided this research. The findings were categorized into two sections: (1) A study of factors related to website prototype design and development, which revealed that creating wireframes, designing the user interface, selecting colors, and developing prototypes were crucial in reducing errors and improving accuracy in website development for amateur Thai illustrators. (2) The design process began by gathering the requirements of the target group, creating wireframes, and developing a prototype. The target group evaluated and provided feedback, allowing for iterative improvements to ensure the prototype website was optimized to meet both usability and aesthetic goals.
