Cosymbolic: Case Study (Part 1 - Introduction)

Hey, hi, hello!

I just wanted to say that I am SUPER stoked to be working on yet another new app (referencing my earlier post about my app I just started working on).

This app is in the very early stages, but I wanted to go ahead and outline it a little before things got crazy with it.

It's actually my dad's app idea, and he's been working on it for a while but has been having some issues with figuring out layout, functionality, features, etc., so he's hired me to be his UX/UI designer for the project!

I couldn't be more excited to work with him on such an interesting concept (which I'll get into in another post, since some executive decisions still need to be made). It's going to be a great opportunity for me to flex my UX muscle throughout the entire process of designing an application.

As far as market research, there are no apps out there doing what this app will do. However, there are quite a few related apps that deal with art and creativity, and I plan on using those to inform some design decisions, along with best practices I've learned in classes and through my experience.

So far, we've just had a quick preliminary meeting to discuss my role and responsibilities, as well as the direction he's wanting to take the app.

Our next meeting is this weekend, after he's gotten the app idea down to a more concise vision and direction. After that, I'll get started on the wireframes!

More to come soon!

Cheers,

- Liv
