Counter
Design Research ● 2018
An iterative project with a focus on a solution to a real world problem. The project began with a research cycle, discovering current problems and possible solutions. A direction was then evaluated and chosen. The chosen solution then went through a feedback loop with potential users.
Ecosystem
The first step of the design process began with researching an ecosystem and determining if there is something that can be improved on.
Next, it was determined where in the ecosystem would the solution take place. Examples were made as rough placeholder ideas.
Counter is a thought-challenging platform for collaborative discussions. The application allows users to challenge their own thoughts and ideas with informed arguments.
After the values and purposes of the solution were determined, then the form was chosen. The system structure shows a way for a user to navigate the application.
Branding
Along side the structure; some preliminary branding identity was worked on including a wordmark and some iconography.
Prototyping
With these resources a more concrete prototype was made in Adobe XD.
With the feedback from the first prototype a refined thesis and work on the final prototype began.
