PROBLEM
There is a downward trend in reading, especially among the younger generations. This is caused by the rising amount of distractions that surrounds us everyday. People prefer to watch TV, streaming sites, play video games and mobile games, or use social media to entertain themselves.
APPLICATIONS USED
Adobe XD
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe After Effects (for promo video)
OVERVIEW
This was created as part of my half-a-semester long project in my first year studio class at Parsons MFA DT Program. READY was the first time I designed an app and learned how to use prototyping tools such as Adobe XD.
In order to address and combat the decline in reading, I conducted research, prototyped, and gained insight and feedback from my peers that helped me design the READY app. By implementing the psychology behind habit formation and designing features such as community building, the app’s objective is for users to form and maintain a habit to read.
After my prototype was completed, I was given the opportunity to create a promotional video and website for the READY App in my second semester Digital Experience Design class.
