For this week’s task I’m going to be reflecting on my ‘OverstimuLocation’ project and prototype.
Overall, I was quite happy with the result. I think it was an interesting idea that could realistically help a lot of people, though I’m glad I scrapped my plan on it being its own app, I think it would be far more effective as an extension to Google Maps- and would be able to reach more people in that way. I’m also pretty happy with the visuals of the mock-up I made, I think the eye icon is simple and recognisable and the purple colour palette works toward the calming aesthetic I was aiming for.
However, I do wish I expanded on this idea more, as I think I could do a lot with it, and I had a lot of ideas when I made this mock-up that I don’t believe were thoroughly expressed, along with new ideas I think could be added now or in the future. It would be interesting to revisit this when I am more confident in coding, perhaps if I learnt a bit more about app development I would be able to make a more comprehensive and realistic mock-up than the simple sketch I made.
