How much detail should you go into? How many images should you include? Should you only present polished final work, or should you show the iterations and setbacks you went through along the way?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This post will demystify the process of presenting a case study in your UX portfolio.

Case studies go beyond the polished final product of your design work to tell the story of one project from beginning to end. That means explaining through both text and images what the project was, how you and your team tackled the design problem, and what the final results were.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The objective is to give hiring managers insight into the way you think, including how you approach and solve UX problems and how you overcome challenges. This will help them understand how you\u2019d fit into their UX team if they hired you. Each case study you include in your portfolio is a chance to showcase how you employed your strengths and skills as a UX designer at each stage of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/blog\/ux-design-process\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">design process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the UX case studies you create will have a big impact on whether you are selected for a job interview. And, during an interview, you\u2019ll likely be asked to talk about your case studies so hiring managers can learn more about your past UX design experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-should-a-case-study-be-structured\"><strong>How should a case study be structured?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Case studies can help your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/blog\/what-is-a-ux-portfolio\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX portfolio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stand out from other job applicants\u2014but only if you can clearly articulate your design thinking and process through them. The best way to do this is to think of each case study as a story with a beginning, middle, and end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each section of your case study should build on the previous section as you guide your reader from the inception of the project to your final deliverables. Along the way, you should include clear, concise explanations of what you did alongside images of the project. In addition, each section should be presented with a strong visual hierarchy so that readers can easily understand both the project and your contributions to it by scanning your case study .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each case study will be different depending on the project you\u2019re explaining and the details you\u2019re highlighting. However, the following is a general outline of the main sections to include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#introduction\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introduction<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#the-problem\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#users\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#process-and-iterations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Process and iterations<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#final-design-solution\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final design solution<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#results-and-key-takeaways\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Results and key takeaways<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"what-should-be-included\"><strong>What should be included in each case study section?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s outline the key information you should include in each section of your case study.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"introduction\"><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this section, you\u2019ll provide context for the project. This is often the part of the case study that readers will pay especially close attention to, so it should be brief but informative. You\u2019ll start with an overview of the project, including the company it was for and the product that you were tasked with designing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll then articulate your role and responsibilities on the project. Be honest about what you did and how you contributed. If the case study is about something other than a client project, such as a project for a class, you should mention that too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also include details about the project that you\u2019ll expand on later<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">such as the problem you were presented with, how you and your team began to approach the project, and some information about the results of the design you ultimately delivered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For visuals, you can include anything from the logo of the company you were designing for, a picture of the \u201cbefore\u201d state of the product if you\u2019re detailing a redesign, or an image of the final product you designed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good example of a case study introduction can be seen in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tangyidesign.com\/present_intern-at-ea-who-says-games-cannot-be-streamed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yi Tang\u2019s case study for a game discovery experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, designed for the gaming company EA.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-29-at-12.22.49.png\" alt=\"ux case study introduction example\" width=\"635\" height=\"340\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tangyidesign.com\/present_intern-at-ea-who-says-games-cannot-be-streamed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yi Tang\u2019s portfolio\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the introduction, he provides a good overview of the project, including the client and the goals of the project, and his role and responsibilities are clearly articulated.

Why was this project valuable to both the product\u2019s users and the company\u2019s business goals? Include any research or competitive analysis data that helps explain why the project was important, including any surveys of users or usage data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are multiple ways to approach this section.

If you worked within specific constraints, encountered setbacks, or had to make compromises during the design process, describe those as well.

But remember: you know your project best and should be able to clearly articulate it, both in writing and through images. While the focus in UX is often on designing deliverables, written and visual communication is also an important part of the job. A UX case study not only shows off your design thinking skills;\u00a0 it\u2019s also a chance to demonstrate your communication abilities.
