Design Process

STRUCTURES At the beginning of the project, my team and I developed information architectures to get an overview of the classifications of the books and agree on the specific features of the app. This resulted in the navigation structure and a detailed outline of the filter function.

DESIGN DRAFTS After analyzing existing reading apps on the market, we started co-creating visual designs in Figma. First, we developed a visual design kit for DONKi, including a font and colour scheme, before proceeding with wireframes. Each week, we tested our feature designs with potential users and iteratively refined them.

DESIGN KIT For Donki, we developed a visual identity with fixed color and font schemes, as well as a logo. It was important to us that the app conveys a dynamic appearance, as it is used at different times of the day and year. Color changes and different greetings should give the user a personal feeling.
