Background
This is a group project, where I worked as a Researcher and Visual Designer. Here, our group came up with a problem and solution to design a mobile application for senior citizens. I created wireframes and involved in designing a mood board and prototype.
The Problem
Seniors increasingly face social isolation, especially as they find it more difficult to drive, and this is a major factor causing them to leave their homes and enter retirement homes or condos instead.
The Solution
This app will allow seniors to maintain their independence by giving them a way to stay physically, socially, and mentally active despite not being able to drive.
Research and Analysis
We researched to know the issues elderly people facing and created personas before we designed the layout.
Personas
We created a persona to better understand the requirement and identify the elder peoples’ goals and needs.
Mood Board and Style Sheet
To decide the best colors, fonts, and images for this app, we created a mood board and style sheet.
The Process:
Wireframes:
I designed wireframes using the ‘Sketch App’ on Mac.
Hi-fi Wireframes and Prototype:
Using InVision App, we created the prototype
Final Deliverables:

Conclusion:
This project’s primary aim was to come up with a solution for senior citizens' day-to-day problems and design an inclusive platform keeping their priorities in mind. This has taught me the design skills and using new software tools that helped me create the UI for my Capstone Project with ease. And here, I learnt the importance of designing a product that meets the target users’ expectations.
