Hello today,
- 00:02 - 00:09
I'm gonna be talking to you about my design and my responsive web app called
- 00:09 - 00:10
Rudy
- 00:11 - 00:14
where you can find my music on any stage in any city.
- 00:17 - 00:24
So the objective of my app was to design a responsive app where
- 00:24 - 00:27
a web app where users can easily access information about live music,
- 00:27 - 00:31
performances and venue information based on the user's location.
- 00:31 - 00:37
I definitely think that I was able to meet the objective
- 00:38 - 00:39
um for Rudy.
- 00:40 - 00:41
Um
- 00:41 - 00:45
and I'm excited to show you how I feel. I did that.
- 00:47 - 00:52
So to start out I will talk about my mood board. So I knew from the very beginning,
- 00:53 - 01:00
kind of the vision I had for this app, I knew I wanted to incorporate
- 01:00 - 01:03
imagery with bright colors
- 01:03 - 01:07
and I thought that the best way to do
- 01:07 - 01:13
that without distracting from either or would be to
- 01:13 - 01:18
use um muted black and white photography as the
- 01:18 - 01:23
background for all of my screens and then use bright
- 01:23 - 01:25
colors for my text.
- 01:25 - 01:26
So you'll see.
- 01:26 - 01:33
I use a lot of this bright pink, I use a lot of bright white um and then also bright red.
- 01:33 - 01:38
I think that it pairs very nicely with the black and white imagery and
- 01:38 - 01:43
then the fonts that I chose I think parallel really nicely together as well.
- 01:43 - 01:44
I wanted a more
- 01:45 - 01:51
creative decorative font to be for the logo.
- 01:51 - 01:56
Um and then I used a more simple font for the body text
- 01:56 - 01:58
and I think they para nicely together.
- 02:00 - 02:06
So for user personas I have right here. Um
- 02:06 - 02:09
I definitely wanted this app too
- 02:10 - 02:12
be able to be used by any demographic.
- 02:12 - 02:13
I think the purpose,
- 02:13 - 02:18
the sole purpose that it serves definitely is something that
- 02:18 - 02:23
any demographic would use at anybody at any age.
- 02:23 - 02:27
Um But I do think that the style and design
- 02:27 - 02:31
is target a little bit more towards a younger audience. Um
- 02:31 - 02:36
but again the sole purpose that the app serves
- 02:36 - 02:40
is definitely not limited to any demographic or age.
- 02:40 - 02:41
Um
- 02:41 - 02:43
So yeah,
- 02:44 - 02:48
then here are some of the first screens that I have one through four.
- 02:48 - 02:52
Um these are flow that I walk through in
- 02:52 - 02:58
these screens in the next four are to purchase a ticket to a show.
- 02:58 - 03:02
So as you can see here they use the filters to search by genre,
- 03:02 - 03:05
location and date and these are the shows that come up and then
- 03:05 - 03:09
they end up choosing the coital show and walk through purchasing that ticket.
- 03:09 - 03:12
And then here you can see that they are
- 03:12 - 03:15
letting you review it um and then showing you your
- 03:15 - 03:19
confirmation and then this person is going to their profile
- 03:19 - 03:23
so they can view their upcoming shows and that is the last screen that you see.
- 03:25 - 03:28
And then here are the presentation mock ups.
- 03:28 - 03:31
This is one of the three that I created um
- 03:31 - 03:37
using the different screen sizes and breakpoints to show that
- 03:37 - 03:42
this is going to be easily visible on all different types of devices.
- 03:44 - 03:47
And now I'll just kind of talk through some of the points
- 03:48 - 03:50
that are in this assignment.
- 03:50 - 03:54
So I touched on the objective a little bit on the very beginning.
- 03:54 - 03:57
I definitely think I met the objective and created an app
- 03:58 - 04:02
for people to be able to find shows based
- 04:02 - 04:05
on their location and find information about the venues.
- 04:05 - 04:06
Um
- 04:07 - 04:13
I did have a few roadblocks. I think that the biggest one would be
- 04:14 - 04:16
in the very beginning when I was
- 04:16 - 04:19
kind of designing the
- 04:20 - 04:22
uh, you know, or
- 04:22 - 04:25
figuring out the design that I wanted to go with.
- 04:25 - 04:26
I knew that I wanted to do bright colors and I
- 04:26 - 04:29
knew that I wanted to use a lot of imagery but
- 04:30 - 04:30
kind of
- 04:31 - 04:33
figuring out how it was going to do that.
- 04:33 - 04:38
And I was a little bit overwhelmed with ideas and things were starting to
- 04:38 - 04:45
get a little bit messy because I had all these different color combinations and um
- 04:46 - 04:47
photography ideas
- 04:48 - 04:50
that it got a little bit overwhelming and I started
- 04:51 - 04:54
putting some options together that just weren't complementing
- 04:54 - 04:56
each other because they were both too loud.
- 04:56 - 05:00
Um so finding that happy medium with
- 05:01 - 05:04
sometimes some busy photography and bright colors,
- 05:05 - 05:10
it was a little bit of a difficult process, but I do think I executed that.
- 05:10 - 05:12
I do think that it ended up working out in the
- 05:12 - 05:14
end and I really like the way that it looks.
- 05:14 - 05:15
Um
- 05:16 - 05:23
another roadblock that or an obstacle that I had um was and
- 05:23 - 05:26
I touched on this a little bit um a few moments ago,
- 05:26 - 05:26
but
- 05:27 - 05:30
just making sure that nothing was
- 05:30 - 05:34
being distracting or overpowering anything else.
- 05:34 - 05:34
Um,
- 05:34 - 05:36
I think you have to be really careful with
- 05:36 - 05:40
that when you are creating something that has aspects of
- 05:40 - 05:43
it that are very loud or bright and just
- 05:43 - 05:46
making sure that there's just the right amount of,
- 05:46 - 05:52
you know, whether it be a decorative font or a bright color or a text or image effect,
- 05:52 - 05:53
making sure that
- 05:54 - 05:57
there isn't too much of that to where it
- 05:57 - 06:00
becomes distracting and that is something that I did have
- 06:00 - 06:04
to pay attention to um throughout this whole process
- 06:04 - 06:07
and make sure that I didn't didn't do that.
- 06:08 - 06:09
Um,
- 06:09 - 06:15
and as far as research goes, the insights from my research and testing
- 06:15 - 06:20
had an impact on my final design. I would say by
- 06:20 - 06:26
the process of me really realizing how important it is
- 06:26 - 06:30
to get others feedback and others point of view.
- 06:30 - 06:34
Um, I think it's easy as a designer too
- 06:34 - 06:38
become biased and be distracted by your own vision.
- 06:38 - 06:43
But what we have to remember is that our vision is being created
- 06:43 - 06:47
to be enjoyed and used by the public and by other people.
- 06:47 - 06:47
So
- 06:48 - 06:50
just because we might really like something doesn't
- 06:50 - 06:53
mean that it is going to be um generally
- 06:53 - 06:58
accepted or appreciated by the public and that's what you want at the end of the day,
- 06:58 - 06:58
um,
- 06:58 - 07:01
especially when it's something that you're trying to make money off
- 07:01 - 07:05
of and and sell to clients and and all that,
- 07:05 - 07:06
it's not just for your own personal use.
- 07:06 - 07:09
So I feel like that was something that I really had to come to
- 07:09 - 07:11
terms with and really realized through doing
- 07:11 - 07:16
the research and testing with users and
- 07:16 - 07:18
and really letting their feedback sink in.
- 07:19 - 07:27
Um and then if I could have changed um anything or done anything differently,
- 07:27 - 07:29
I don't think I would have because
- 07:29 - 07:31
I wouldn't have learned the things that I did.
- 07:31 - 07:35
Um and I actually really like how everything turned out,
- 07:35 - 07:40
whereas in my last project I wasn't super happy with the design.
- 07:40 - 07:42
Um I wasn't
- 07:43 - 07:44
really pleased with the way everything turned out,
- 07:44 - 07:47
but just kind of had to go with it because I was so far along,
- 07:47 - 07:52
but this one actually really like, and I feel like um it embodies me as a designer.
