OUGD601 - Initial App Designs

Initial App Designs

Opening Page


I experimented with different variations of the logo when I was still trying to decide on the final logo design. However the final design uses the white logo on the fourth art board. 


About and Get Involved Pages


The about and get involved pages use a strip of the colour blue along the top and bottom to continue the theme. The typeface is Kohinoor Devanagic which is the same as the typeface used for the logo as it means there is consistency throughout the app. I have left boxes for some use of imagery. I wasn't sure what images I wanted to use as I need to make sure that they show inclusivity. This is something I will come back to. The pages talk about what the app is and then give some handy tips to help make someone feel more comfortable in the gym. They are reminders that everyone has to start somewhere. 


Menu


The menu page is very simplistic and I experiment with a full blue page and also following the look of the rest of the pages just using blue strips. 


Workouts Page


The workouts page needed to be spilt into the different body parts. I wanted to use a circle to keep consistency with the logo. I initially looked at the use of just typography in the circles but felt this looked quite boring. I didn't want to use photography as I felt this could cause body image issues depending on the choice of model. I therefore chose to create pictograms with are representative of the different body parts. I then tried the typography of the top of the pictograms and also underneath. They seemed to work better with the writing underneath as it meant that the writing was easier to read and also the pictograms could be seen more clearly.
