Maisie Cousins (1992)

I’ve met Cousins work last year, when I was helping out at the Hundred Heroines exhibition at Chelsea  - her book RUBBISH, DIPPING SAUCE, GRASS PEONIE BUM is a collection of 3 projects. Not joking, I was mesmerized by the unapologetic and striking images. The control of flash, choice of subject and the close up view remind me of Nobuyoshi Araki’s - The Banquet (https://www.shashasha.co/en/book/the-banquet). Colours and textures are intertwining in a sleeky dance, which is strangely inviting and catches the eye, attracts the viewer for an even closer scrutinization.

This is the link to the High Fidelity Prototype.

After I have designed the low fidelity design all my icons and illustrations I started to work on the high fidelity design. I have designed the onboarding and registration and the home screen and the sections within the home screen. I have chosen the colour pallete that I designed my brand with for this app of purples, lilacs and pink. I think this works very well I like how the pastel colours work with the bold purple for detail. As I have discussed before purple represents epilepsy and this is the main reason behind the colour palette.  

Here I have started the process of designing the icons I will use in the Aura app. Starting with the basic outlines of all the icons I will be using throughout designing the app. The main navigation with the home, profile, community and settings icons. The rest will be used for different sections in the app; seizure revords, notes, symptoms, triggers, medicine, emergency calls, email the doctor. I decided to design an icon for each symptom and trigger choice which are; Insomnia, dizzy, weak, migrane, alcohol, flashy lights, anxiety, tired, headache, and stressed. I chose this dark and light purple colourscheme to fit with the Aura brand and I think that the lilac works very well with the darker purple. 

After wireframing in my sketchbook and drawing user flows and mindmapss I have moved on to low fidelity wireframes using Adobe XD. I stil wanted to keep them very simple but I wanted there to be a clear idea of the layout and information that would be in the final design. The screens that I have designed for low fidelity I think are the most important. I wet with the registration and sign in process, home screen and stages of that screen, user profile and the stages of that and also the community screen. I think that these are the main screens that will be sed. I am sure there will be more when develping the final design but I think this is a good starting point. 

I have decided to do a mini prototype for the low fidelity design to get the feel how the process will work. and to make it easier to understand and have a base when designing a high fidelity prototype. Using Adobe XD I have designed this and below you will find the link to the prototype.
