| 🧩 Input | Final design · persona-based evaluation · 6 decisions |
| 📦 Output | Live platform · annotated final design · reflection · three-horizon roadmap |
The platform is live at hwangyooyup.framer.website. The design system, information architecture, and all seven primary screens are complete; the Exhibition Plan's curatorial content and the Works catalogue are still being populated behind the scenes. So this is a finished design with a growing body of content — not a closed project.
What shipped does the core job the research set: a single platform that serves a museum-grade research audience and a first-time discovery audience without compromising either. The dual-navigation architecture, the Motifs interpretive layer, and progressive disclosure are all in place, and were validated in the persona-based evaluation.
The Outcome also states plainly what isn't done. A formal accessibility audit, a live-user test round, and catalogue completion are named next steps — not hidden gaps.
What's live. Seven screens across two modes: Overview, Exhibition Plan, Journey, and Motifs (five subject cards + tojŏng radar) in Discovery mode; Biography, Works, Bibliography, Exhibitions, and Timeline in Archive mode; plus the Artwork Detail record. All built on a design system derived from the artist's own palette and surface technique.
Honest scoping. The site is live, but the Exhibition Plan and catalogue are in active development — the case study frames them as designed and in progress, not finished. The usability evidence is a persona-based evaluation, with live-user testing named as the next validation step. Accessibility is designed toward WCAG 2.1 AA, with a formal audit pending.
The throughline. Final Design annotates the live screens against the decisions behind them. Reflection separates what worked from what would change — including the honest note that the prototype evaluation used simulated, not live, participants. Next Steps lays out a three-horizon roadmap, from catalogue completion and a real-user test round to long-term content governance.
