This assignment focuses on user interface, user experience, mobile development, and typography for the web. Each student will identify a specific demographic and create an app based on one of three general categories: 1. Calendar, 2. Notepad, 3. To-do list. Each student solution is rooted in research focusing on their specific demographic to familiarize themselves with the needs and capabilities of the end user.
Approach
Unlike existing travel apps that often steer travelers towards crowded tourist traps, our app is designed to show like-minded travelers how to eat, shop, and do just as the locals would. Choose from a carefully curated selection of spots in various cities around the world. The “to do” list organizes your coveted spots according to activity, allowing for a more enjoyable trip-planning experience.
Results
With a minimalist interface design, along with a collection of attractive places to visit, the app is meant to appeal to a certain kind of audience — one with an appreciation for aesthetics and simple pleasures.
