Author: collinson-s
Hello! My name is Sarah collinson and I am a student at Ulster University studying Interaction Design. I am an outgoing and sociable person who loves to put herself in the deep end and try new things. I am very creative and have a graphic illustration business on the side where I design and develop graphic portraits for customers. This has really fuelled my love for creating graphics and has also enabled me to develop skills which have been extremely useful when creating items within our projects. I also have a love for exercising and exploring the outdoors which has allowed me to gain inspiration for design from all aspects of life.
I chose IXD because I am extremely interested in being part of the change that is coming in terms of developing apps and other software which have yet to be created. Technology is constantly changing and improving at a rapid rate and I am extremely excited to get the opportunity to be part of creating what humanity was previously thought to be impossible.
#IXD104 Final Submission
APP FINAL SARAH COLLINSON SEA-POLLUTION-INFOGRAPHIC-FINAL ai Our brief for this project was, with an emphasis on illustration, icon, diagrams and charts, to design an app based around travel.

#IXD104 App Refinement
After finishing the last page of my type screens for my app, I decided I wasn’t fully happy with the final outcome of the product. I realised some screens were a bit too cluttered for my liking so decided I needed to change the layout. I also decided to change the font of the main […]
#IXD103 Refining my Portfolio Site

#IXD103- Redesigning my Portfolio Site and stop motion
Whilst designing my portfolio site, I realised that I wasn’t happy with it as I felt it didn’t match the rest of my brand. I wanted my portfolio site to match my monogram and business cards so that they all tie in together, making my brand more stable and consistent. With this colour scheme and […]
#IXD104 Creating a Set of Icons for my App
The next step in creating my app is to create a set of icons to use in my app. I knew I wanted my icons to be very minimalist and easy to navigate but I wasn’t sure what all I needed to include so as always, I began brainstorming on paper to see what all […]
#IXD103- Creating a Visual Marque
Our next task for developing our brand is to create our own visual marque. This should be something that represents the persona of our brand. Many global companies are primarily recognised for their visual marques before their name or wordmarks EG Starbucks. Pictorial symbols are non-abstract symbols and are iconic in nature. They convey a […]
#IXD104- “Solo Steps” Travel App
“Solo Steps” is a travel app for solo travellers who still want guidance and reassurance that they are not entirely on their own. After looking for Inspiration for my Travel app I began to create mind maps on what I wanted my app to be like. I was instantly more drawn to focusing my app […]

#IXD103 Week 10- Lovemarks: The Future Beyond Brands (2004)
To further understand Daniel’s Beyond the Brand lecture on Monday, I wanted to do some of my own research which led me to Kevin Roberts’ 2004 book, “Lovemarks: the Future Beyond Brands”. Within Roberts’ book he talks about a new marketing technique known as “lovemarks” which is a much more emotional approach to marketing. This […]
