Today began the start of IXD104 section of this module and Paul showed us what project we will be completing within the 12 weeks. He explained that a travel app is our first project and soon as I was notified of this project I had so many ideas I took to my sketchbook!
To get me started on this project I created a few spider diagrams with some immediate ideas I had surrounding the idea of travel.
My favourite ideas:
- Space travel app
- Exercise travel app
- Gap year/young adult travelling app
Student gap year/ young adult travel app-
Below I have done some further research on this particular idea and topic, I came up with possible ideas I could add to my app.
I have looked at a few of my ideas which I liked the most in more detail and I am leaning more towards the app aimed for young adults and even teens who want to take a gap year and go travelling! I am very passionate about travel and it is a topic I have great interest in as I want to travel the world myself one day. With this particular app idea I felt like I had the most ideas and I am a young adult and feel I can relate to this idea and therefore produce some innovative ideas and illustrations, I feel like this idea would make for an interesting app.
I made a quick mood board with some internet images I found below.
Young people make up large number of those who travel and I feel I can create an exciting and eye catching app design for the target audience as I am the target audience!
Moving forward I want to look at travel apps that will aid my inspiration for my design of this app and the illustrations I produce for this particular idea and write up some blog posts about my positive and negative thoughts of these apps I review. I want to look at some websites about gap year travel for some further inspiration and information about the topic.
