Project Description

-

The idea for this project is to design an app 'study up'  ‘How to complete tasks while procrastination happily’

The behaviour of students to delay learning is very common (Kandemir, 2014). It is generally believed that procrastination will bring bad effects, but delaying task progress may have hidden benefits for creativity (Shin & Grant, 2020). When a student is procrastinating on homework, there are often two voices fighting in his mind. On one side is hedonism, on the other side is the guilt caused by procrastination. Therefore, how to use app design to help students complete their homework on time is the focus of my project.

The application will still have academic delays without knowing how to manage tasks and time. Users can set different task levels according to the urgency of the task. In addition, the app also provides a unique study room with a timer and white noise environment to improve concentration and help users focus on their work.

The degree project 'Study up' is an application for Mac OS devices, The purpose of this app project is to help university students relieve academic procrastination. The final project outcome is a link to the interactive prototype made by Axure RP10, and a promotional poster with a QR code, which is also suitable for flyers and website advertising. This prototype link can be opened by mac and windows system computers or iPad devices. It is not recommended to open it on mobile phones. Because the original intention of the design is to try not to let users be Cell phone interruption. This project is highly related to interactive art design and digital media art. It requires all the skills I learned about digital media art through the digital media art course, visual design, and interaction design.  Compared with other procrastination apps and task-management apps on the market, similar application interfaces on the market cannot attract users, so I have to remodel this point.

Axure RP10 - Interactive prototyping process

After I used Figma to design the first draft, I imported the wireframe into Axure. I used the Axure RP 10.0.0 3826 version. Importing is not supported below this version. I have a student license, so I can use it for free.  The page size of the app I designed is 1440 1020, I imported all the artwork of the Figma into Axure, and then I can carry out the next step of interface design and interaction design in Axure.  After I put in the icons and illustrations, I started to interact with the interactive buttons on each page. Although the button fingertip interaction is relatively easy, it is very troublesome and trivial. If one of the buttons is not set to interact, the user will not be able to use it smoothly. Although the button fingertip interaction is relatively easy, it is very troublesome and trivial.
