Case study — App

-

Case study 1 - Seed habit



Keywords: mutual supervision

This is a mobile application dedicated to helping everyone develop good habits and focus on learning and growth. Here, everyone’s persistence is different, but everyone wants to improve themselves. Everyone is a comrade-in-arms. It can use seed habits to check-in and supervise each other when planning to go to bed early, get up early, recite vocabulary, and do exercises.


Analysis

  • Strengths

This app is something I have used before. Its advantage is that this app has a community function that can check in with other people. This function can arouse the use of some users.

  • Weaknesses
The interface function is too complicated，it let users give up the idea of using it, so my design interface should take this into consideration, as simple and clear as possible for users to use.






Case study 2 - AT

Keywords: countdown
"You can delay, but time won't"-Benjamin Franklin. 

This is a time management software. it can set the deadline for each task, important schedules, etc. By setting the time, it can see how long the deadline is until the end of the task, and there is a certain sense of urgency to overcome delays and improve efficiency!


Analysis

  • Strengths

This kind of design is creative and helpful for people who have never had a sense of time. 
The colours matching of the interface is very lively, the red progress bar is very eye-catching, and your users can easily see how many days they have left.

The clever combination of colours can make users feel comfortable, and can appropriately remind users that the time is up.

This gives me some creative inspiration, colours and rich interface design.



  • Weaknesses

These shortcomings, it doesn't have a classification function, users sometimes find it troublesome and confusing.
When setting the date, it is more convenient to see the day of the week on the calendar.




Case study 3 - Clear




Keywords: make a planning checklist

Clear is a program APP that integrates to-do items and reminders. Simple gestures make it more convenient for you to plan user daily work and study, and you can also decorate your clear list with a variety of personalized themes, which is personally unique. Using it allows you to refuse to procrastinate and become more efficient.

Analysis

  • Strengths
The reviews of users use are good, users like the feel and layout of this application. They can organize and view personal lists in a simple way. Users can easily find the plan list.
Therefore, the introduction of the interface is very important to the user. It must be creative and clear.


  • Weaknesses
Although the colour of the background can be changed, the colour is single, and the bright colour is too light，which is difficult for users to focus on the phone screen. This is also what my project needs to pay attention to. The colour of the interface is the key for users to use the app.

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.
