GRAD502/53 - Studio II

These are all the design outcomes that I have included in the project document. There is one printed (Stickers), two digital (Warped app and Instagram, two environmental (Bus stop sign and Train station boards) and one tactile (Tote Bag).

I am currently working on creating my project document and formatting it in a way that is interesting and still informative. I want to make sure that I am not adding too much into it that it becomes overwhelming so I have made sure to keep a separate document with the text. It has been a little hard to make slides that are captivating but I've been referring back to my research as well as designs that I like. I think so far everything looks very cohesive and stick with the same theme throughout.

How the app works and some of the features in use

- The first one is the community page where you can see friends who are online and chats that you currently have. The second one is an example of a chat log would look like.

- The first three are the app opening screen, motivational quote and login page. If the user has already logged in it would go straight to the home page.

- The first one is the home page where you're able to see an overview of the calendar for the month and a discovery page for new articles. The second one is a sample of what opening an article would look like. Although this one doesn't have images, there is an option to have that. The third one is what pops up when you click on the small calendar. You're able to add to a to-do list or click on existing logs to read over them again.

I was able to continue doing more of the app and have included some images of pages that I have finished. Everything matches and doesn't look too out of place in comparison to one another. I still need to decide where to put the motivational quote. I'm thinking of putting it between the logo screen to the home page if the user has already logged in but I'm not sure how to do that in Figma. I think I will just need to put that into my explanation after finishing the app prototype.

This is the start of the warped app that I made using the sketches that I did. It was a bit hard to understand Figma at first but after a while, I got the hang of it and I was able to create pages that linked. I still have a lot of pages left to do but I think this is a good start and I like how it looks so far. I need to make sure that everything looks cohesive and the campaign image is strong.

These are some videos that I watched to learn the basic principles of how to use Figma and the features it has. They were really helpful and I think I will try and recreate some of the things they did for my app.

This is the planning stage that I am at for one of my digital collaterals. I want to create an app that it almost like a social media/community based where people who suffer from BDD can learn more as well as be connected with others. I want to try and use Figma to create this but I am totally unfamiliar with the program so I need to do some research into video tutorials I could follow. One of the interface inspirations that I have is a program called notion. It's a journaling/calendar app that is fully customisable and looks very minimalistic, which is what I want to go for. It was suggested in my feedback session that the app should open up to a different motivational quote each time which I think is a really good idea.

More articles that I found interesting and allowed me to gain a deeper insight into the links that social media can have on BDD. As well as being hereditary, BDD can be influenced by several other factors including media. The articles show how much social media has had an effect on generations that use it.
