App design

For the last weekly project we had to create a to-do list and planning app specifically made for art students.

I looked at some existing app interfaces and tried to take inspiration from anything i liked such as instagram due to their recent and more modern looking interface. It is very simple to navigate and its purpose to share images is a great way to show off what you are up to. There is not an overwhelming amount of icons and widgets, its simple and minimal. The colour scheme or white, red, black and grey is also less heavier than their previous look which was too heavy.

Pintrest also caught my interest and I also liked the look of the app so I also considered following its look and interface for my app


Then I asked a couple friends what they would like to see on an app like this and took note.

People requested that it has a window to input your plan yourself and set yourself a deadline
which lead on to the reminder option within the app that will remind the user to finish of a project and keep track by showing them the percentage when they want to view what they have left to complete.

A simple interface, A window to put your class timetable, a section where students can have a platform like a chat to discuss their projects and help remind or just help one another in general on a project.

Some concepts of how the navigation of the app may look like. Above on the left you can see the reminder feature that reminds its user to finish of a task and to track their progress.
Above on the left are a collection of widgets I found that could be included in my app to help people navigate. I also considered other features too add to my app at this stage such as commenting on other peoples project plans. Even a share feature to share your plans with others if you are working in a group. And on the rigtht are some sketches of what the app logo could potentially look like.

Final Outcomes.

I am really proud of my outcome because I was really passionate in what I was creating I understood more about apps and their interfaces and how to make my app easy to use. Having apps like instagram, pintrest and snapchat make you are on how unique each app could be and what makes them the app they are.
