JOUST!


2022  

JOUST! is a group project created by the Viget intern cohort over a 7 week period. The cohort consisted of a Project Manager, a Product Manager, an Application Developer, a JavaScript Developer, and a Designer.

As the Design intern, I ideated and implemented the User Experience, Visual Direction, Visual Strategy, User Interface, and Animation.

How can a group of friends make decisions when everyone (or no one) has a strong opinion? By creating a world where decisiveness is celebrated, comical, and easy! The graphic below shows my key words and framework for the visual design and user experience.











Anthropomorphizing  letterforms to JOUST over decisions was an early ideation idea that was simplified through an iterative, collaborative process with our client and our UI developer, Andrew Lester.

The final screens were designed to guide users through decision making with bright color, interesting animation, and a sense of competitiveness. I learned a ton about the actual production of an app from our back-end developer, Noah, who taught me to think about the visual design through the lens of a software engineer. The addition of constraints lead me to get out of my design-head and think about making from different perspectives.





From wireframe to final screens, completely gamifying decision-making through a bracket-inspired process.
