Task 1 / App Design Self-Evaluation and Reflection

LECTURES

Week 1
In the first class, Mr. Razif gave us a rough outline of the module plan we needed to complete. He asked us to bring our work from Application Design I, the previous semester, to this module. To help us better understand the upcoming tasks, he introduced us to the DesignLens website.

Task to do
  • Submit ePortfolio URL
  • Identify design improvements/refinements of your App Design 1 project and write them in the ePortfolio.
  • Join Whatsapp Group
Week 2
I personally found this week's lecture quite interesting. Mr. Razif asked us to redesign the boarding pass and design the order according to the importance of the information. Then we were divided into groups to design the boarding pass.


The front of this boarding pass was designed by me, and I referred to the design made by my senior schoolmate before me.
Most people read from top to bottom and left to right, so when designing, we need to consider the importance of information and place it accordingly.Figma link here

Group Presentation


Week 3
Today, we learned how mobile apps function as interconnected systems, focusing on common mobile app layouts, navigation structures, user flows, and wireframe flows. We learned how these elements work together to create a smooth and intuitive user experience.Then our group chose the movie booking process to make wireflow.

INSTRUCTIONS


Task 1 / App Design Self-Evaluation and Reflection
Based on our Application Design I, improve/refine the design of the redesigned application project and write it in detail.We are required to perform a self-evaluation and reflection based on their mobile application design 1 final project. This project is aimed to document the issues, problems, difficulties and propose solutions to improve the mobile app design. Mobile App design is an iterative process and this task will expose us to the constant improvements one can make to their app. We are required to submit the documentation in Google Doc for ease of commenting and feedback by the module coordinator.

Application Design I 
Genting High-Fi prototype


Introduction
This semester I revisited my previous Genting app redesign project — the high-fidelity prototype I completed at the end of last semester.
The main goal back then was to make the Genting app feel more modern, user-friendly, and consistent with its premium brand image.

For this reflection, I looked again at the final version I created — not the old one — and tried to see it from a fresh perspective. I wanted to find what still worked well, what could be improved, and what I’ve learned from designing and testing it.

Then we need to build the sketches on figma for each scene before the next week. Week 12 A good idea I came up with is to add a chat function. If today's target is a group of friends who want to book a hotel, they can all use this app and enter a group to chat, and at the same time they can share hotel information to this group. They can vote, compare hotels, and even plan the itinerary of the trip. More plans can be made in this group, and other members can also participate in the selection process. Then based on this idea, I designed the first sketch on figma. Mr. Sylvain sugges...

Fig 1.1 Sketch 1 (3/3/2025) I am confused about whether to use watercolor or illustration design, because both are areas I am not good at. Using watercolor can better express the relationship between the water surface. In terms of c...
