Design Iterations
First iteration
After our first iteration, we made several changes:
- Removed the green check-mark from the bottom-right of the modal
- Added a highlight and red border to the tags overlay to indicate that tags were necessary when approving a user
- Added a "later" button
- Changed the grid icon to a three-line icon
- Changed the resize icon to a double-headed arrow
Second iteration
- Changing all icon-buttons to text since we have so much space to work with
- Make one of the resize icons glow until that feature is used
- Allow people to drag contacts around throughout the grid
