Impact Mobile Application Design

Web Design Assignment: Create and design a mobile application for the iPhone.

My mobile app is called Impact. The purpose of the app is to allow users to search for local volunteer opportunities and connect directly with nonprofit organizations in their area. The app allows you to tailor your search by areas of interest, level of time commitment, and target community. There is also a feature built-in called My Impact, which allows users to set volunteer goals for themselves, keep a log of all the organizations they have volunteered for (the exact date, the number of hours, any notes they would like to include about the experience), as well as share their volunteer story by syncing up with their social media where they can upload photos and comments.

Below are a few of the screens I designed for the app (there were a total of 28 screens):

Bee Goddess Honey (Packaging Design)

Color Theory Assignment: Pick a culture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and sketch different design motifs. Drawing from your sketches and the color palette of the culture you've chosen, create a rhythmic pattern using a triad or tetrad color chord. Create a product that your pattern could be applied to and develop a logo and branding for the package design.

The culture I chose was Ancient Greece, specifically the Bronze Age. I was inspired by a golden bee pendant in the exhibition, and through research found out there was a Bee Goddess in Minoan and Mycenaean religion who represented nature, order, harmony, and the connection between this life and the afterlife. I chose a triad color chord (red, yellow, blue) to express my culture. By switching the placement of the colors in the pattern, I was able to create three distinct patterns and applied each to a different type of honey: Pine Tree Honey, Wildflower Honey, and Thyme Honey.
