Background
What is Athleats?
This project consisted of a deep dive into the design process in order to effectively define all the details required in order to create an application that can be used for keeping track of athletics and nutritional aspects of life. In other words, creating a bullet journal from start to finish with a special emphasis on improving the lives of student athletes
The USER
Who is the user?
Having both friends and family who are actively involved in college athletics, I felt that creating an application to improve their busy schedule of juggling academics, athletics and proper nutrition would be an ideal product
Competitive Analysis
Who wore it best?
Consists of evaluating different application platforms and figuring out the best way to organize content while also using them to create inspiration for further design exploration
Create
Sketching for UI
USER personas
Who are the users?
Creating user personas that would accurately depict potential users of athleats
Flows
Flows based on personas
Stylize
Creating the mood
This moodboard created a bold and dramatic look with high contrast colors which then lead to my inspiration board to find style in creating a dark UI
Comps
B&W Wireframes
Creating wireframes that would help define the design style of the application, I decided to use rounded elements for the design as a challenge to myself since I have not experienced much with circular elements within UI so it was a fun chance to explore with style
Final Solution
Prototype
Interactive prototype which demonstrates the user flow of the application
Final Takeaways
It is okay to pivot your concept but that is better done sooner than later
Don't be afraid to take a step back and conduct more research if needed
Ask your intended users for feedback as you are designing
