Application Design II - Task 1

-

 INSTRUCTIONS

For task 1 we are expected to reflect on our previous task from application design I. To see what are we lacking in terms of UI/UX design from our app re-design. From there, we are told to fix the mistakes that we have made.


TASK 1


Here are some of the things that I find in my design that needs to be improved on:

Before

Before



1. Iconography
As you can see, the icons that I previously used are not consistent. A lot of the icons are not similar and lacked a coherent style and meaning. This made the app feel disjointed. 

2. Colors
From the feedback I got from Mr. Razif, he asked why is there a lot of grey colors. At first, grey is one of the colors included in the color palette. He said that the use of the color grey made the app look unfinished.

3. Text Size (too small)
At some parts of the page, there are some texts that are too small to read. This happens because there is a lot of information needed to be combined on one page, so I tried to fit in all the information within. 

4. UI Layout
Looking back at the design of the layout, there are a lot of coherent shapes used in the app. Some are sharps edges shapes some are rounded. Also, the design feels unfinished and ugly.


To tackle these mistakes, these are my goals to proceed with this project:
  1. Change Layout (making the shapes similar and coherent)
  2. Colors - change the grey areas into proper color, remove the gradient colors into solid colors
  3. Text - Rearrange the text, follow the text hierarchy
  4. Icons - change all of the icons, into icons that are similar in size and style

Variety is important to avoid harmony becoming monotonous. Harmony is the sense that all of elements f your design fit together. They may fit the same theme, aesthetic style or mood. Variety is about a change or slight difference in elements and objects in composition, to avoid a boring composition. Variety can also involve varying angles, exposure, composition, etc. UNITY Unity refers to the repetition of particular elements throughout your design whether they're colors, shapes or materials to pull the look together. Unity occurs when these elements are c...

We are told to create a minimalist poster defining the decisive moment of the scene from an existing narrative. Also we are expected to create a looping animated gif of the design. The first movie came into my mind is The Conjuring Universe movies. It is a movie that I have been repeat watching a lot in my free time. There are some scenes that came into my mind, the first scene was from the first conjuring, the hide and clap scene. This scene shows the one of the first encounter between the characters and the ghost. The second scene that I wanted to brought up is the scene where Lorraine meets Valak at the first time in the Conjuring 2....
