Intro to Industrial Design

Timeline

Spring 2022

Tools Used

Figma, Illustrator

Overview

I wanted to design a product to demonstrate the parent(s) point of view of the MyKid-netic device. We covered the children's perspective, what does the device look like from a parents perspective? The app is designed for the parents to be able to view, contact, and most importantly: keep track of their children at all times.

This part of the project will showcase and demonstrate the parent(s) side of the speculative project regarding surveillance and micromanaging children.

My design process of the wireframe sketches. Iterations took place before the final product.

Low-fidelity paper prototypes: App testing with phone and screens made from paper and sticky notes.

High-fidelity Prototypes

Figma lo-fi

Here is a iOS prototype I did on Figma to test visual design and style. Parents would want to quickly access through the app to check on their children so I designed my layout to be flexible and swift.

I used a gradient background to keep the interface feel balanced but separated for different menus. The gradient background gives rhythm and contrast while feeling comfortable. I added a hot bar at the bottom on every page for parents to quickly switch between menus. There is also a chat feature for parents to leave messages to their children.
