Target Audience: Since the previous audience target was too limited, I decided to change my audience target, expand the scope, and let more people use it. I determined the final audience university students  Because of my own life experience and the general procrastination of the surrounding students, data research shows that the phenomenon of procrastination in college students reaches more than 80%. Research purposes: Procrastination is extremely common in daily life, and almost everyone has procrastinated.(Zhu, Wang, Zhao, Wu, Sun,2019). Research has shown that ''nearly 50% of people have long-term procrastination and problematic procrastination, and procrastination behaviour is also common in student groups.'' Some data show that in the daily activities of the student group, procrastinators usually account for more than 1/3, and they show an upward trend year by year.

Update research - procrastination(Influencing factors & Intervention)

Procrastination refers to the failure of self-regulation, and the behaviour of delaying the things planned to be done even when the consequences can be expected to be harmful.  According to (Grunschel, 2018)‘Academic procrastination is considered to be a result of self-regulation failure having detrimental effects on students’ well-being and academic performance.’ In this material, the author developed and evaluated group training aimed at reducing academic delays. A total of 106 students completed the training, and the training was done through time management and concentration. Promoting the process of self-regulation in their intervention is a successful attempt to support students in reducing academic procrastination.

Technical Prototype

  This video explains how I operate it and how to make an app prototype. I decided to use Axure to design my app prototype because I used it last year, so I am very familiar with it. First, put the picture designed in ps into it, then click interaction, it will let you select the next page you want to link to, Because I want to do some animations, I only did one animation at the beginning page, after I will try more dynamic effects, now I will show some initial prototype designs.

UX Design: How to Use Animations in Mobile Apps This video is about u se auto-animate transitions to define micro-interactions between artboards. progress Animation If the process of interaction is a bit longer and users have to wait, they would prefer to understand what’s going on and what’s the progress. The biggest advantage of this animated interaction is providing assurance for the users, making them aware and confident in the process of using the product. A confident user means positive user experience and provides a good ground for the high level of user retaining. Animation of progress bars, timelines, and other dynamic elements can kill several birds with one stone: Attention-Drawing Animation This kind of animation plays the role of UX affordance when users interact with your app.  It supports general visual hierarchy with motion catching the user’s attention and directing it to the necessary details. This way it saves precious time on scanning all the screen layout and m...

Contribution to Career Goals

 My degree project is app design. AI software is mainly used. I have used this software in other projects before, mainly for typesetting and interface design. When designing the app interface, it will also be used Axure software, this software is very convenient and fast. App function demonstration will be demonstrated in the form of animation, and PR and AE software may also be used. This is something I have never tried. I am very interested in dynamic things, and I also think that this is a transformation that every designer should try to turn flat things into three-dimensional and static into dynamic, so that my future clients will watch my design It is easier to understand, and I also think this is a good direction for my future career development.
