This app interface was the first one I ever did. It was difficult, but it sparked something inside of me. Before I started majoring in digital design, I was a computer science major, and a mechanical engineering major before that. It would be easy to infer that I enjoy technical spaces and structure. This was the first project in design where I got to experience that again in a different kind of way. For this project, the idea was to make an app that people could use to understand the slang that their peers are using and find out where it came from. It is also a hub for knowing what people are talking about now. I wanted it to have a feeling similar to a newspaper, while still looking “hip.” I made the illustrations in Photoshop, the design in Illustrator, and put it all together in XD.
