Growth Cycles
When my friend came to me asking for help with his app, I was excited by the opportunity to flex my design skills and practice more Figma.
The most fun I had during the project might have been acting as a new user and using what I know from a user experience standpoint to find the pain points within his pre-existing design to see what could be improved on.
*This project is still a work in progress and will be added to as it nears completion*
The beginning.
Unlike my Spotify Remix project, I actually had the opportunity to sit down and take notes on the pain points! I loved getting to be a completely new user for a fitness app. Not only did I get to think critically about design, but also learn more about fitness throughout the process.
Different design choices.
I took my friend's base design and started with some recolors (he chose the two on the right side). While his starting point was alright, he is colorblind and certain shades were too close and were almost impossible to notice when the widgets were supposed to stick out. I'd like to come back to this and add in a pastel version or two for a light mode variant.
Upcoming
I have some more plans for potential layouts that could be used for some calendar portions of this project. One involves a carousel-like way of swiping between Mon-Sun and adding/subtracting workouts to each day. I'm really excited for the future of this project and will be adding in updates as they're completed.
