Final Project: High Fidelity App Design Prototype


Requirement


"Students will synthesize the knowledge gained in task 1, 2 and 3 for application in task 4. Students will create integrate visual asset and refine the prototype into a complete working and functional product experience for a selected task."


Progression

All the frameworks were already completed in Project 3. Now, I just need to add images, text, and theme colours to the lo-fi prototype. When I inserted the images, I realised that the text became unreadable (Fig. 1.0 left image). So, I added a gradient from black to transparent from the bottom and changed the text to white, which made it look much better.

I found and downloaded the movie posters from the GSC website because it is easier to see basic information about the films there compared to the MBO website. Additionally, I changed the "Recommended" movies on the homepage from double rows to a single row, making the layout cleaner. The images in the Promotions section are screenshots I took from the MBO Cinemas app on my phone.

I realised that the original Past Purchases page looked a bit empty, so I added an illustration (Fig. 1.2).

In Figma, I actually created many connecting animations between the pages, which I found a bit confusing myself (Fig. 1.3). I might have spent too much time on some pages that won't appear in the scenario, but since I already made them, I recorded a short video to show them (Fig. 1.2).

REFLECTION

I think the final project was easier than Project 3 because I already had the framework. I just needed to add colors, text, and images. When I added the images, I felt like I gave the prototype a soul. Suddenly, the previous black-and-white version seemed dull. This made me feel very accomplished. The only tricky part was finding images and movies, but overall, it was fun.

I discovered that there are websites where you can download illustrations for free and change their colors. This is very convenient and attractive, but sometimes it was hard to find the exact images I wanted. I spent a lot of time searching for images. Besides that, I think my time management was an issue, and I couldn't finish on time. I need to improve in this area.

Overall, the final project was very interesting. I enjoyed the design process and felt a sense of accomplishment when it was done. However, I know there is still room for improvement.
