Daily UI Design Challenge #26: Subscribe.

Imagine:Jamie works busy city life. She hardly has time to cook dinner these days. Going out every night costs a lot, she discovered that, sadly, as she jots down numbers for recent months’ spendings on food. $15, $20, $17… it doesn’t seem much per meal, but it’s a lot when all adds up.

She starts researching cheaper and convenient meal solutions. Instant ramen noodles? $2 per bag, but no, too unhealthy. Meal ingredient delivery services? No, too much work. Cooked dinner delivery service? Hmm. How much is it? $9.99. Recipes look good and healthy. A 30% off deal for first week’s subscription. Not bad.

Jamie wants to give it a shot. She inputs her credit card, reviews dinner choices and ready to subscribe to the service.

Daily UI Design #25: TV App

100 days of UI 025: A TV App

Daily UI Design Challenge #25: TV App.

Imagine: Dan is a busy young professional. He spends 12 hours working outside home every weekday. He has been wanting to have a regular work out schedule. The nearest gym is about 7 miles away, and he doesn’t want to drive far to a gym after he gets back home. He started looking for ways he could exercise at home, and eventually decided to purchase a dancing game disk for his Xbox. He’s not an avid dancer, but he would love to try it out. After all, this will make him move around and sweat.

Dan turns on the game console, and selects the dance game. After a few introduction screens, he landed on mode selection. Via Kinetic, his outline is captured and displayed on the screen. He lifts his hand and that gets captured as well. It automatically lands on the Easy mode. “Let’s take it slow for this first time.” He holds the hand still for 3 seconds, and the Easy mode is activated. He’s going to have his first dance.

Daily UI Design #24: Boarding Pass

Daily UI Design Challenge #24: Boarding Pass.

Imagine: Jamie Smith and Winnie Lam are about to travel for business from Los Angeles, California to Maui, Hawaii. They booked their flights with Swift Flights, which is famous for its swift services. They arrived at the airport, printed out their Swift boarding passes from the kiosk. There’s about 30 minutes after they got through the checkpoint, so they went to a cafe and worked a bit.

Jamie took the picture as they put their boarding passes on the table.

Daily UI Design #23: Onboarding

Today’s UI design challenge is onboarding.

Imagine: Jamie just got her poodle puppy Bella a few days ago from a breeder. She’s going to take Bella to the vet for a thorough check the very next day, and get her first batch of vaccination in a week. Bella doesn’t seem to like the new dog food she prepared. She wants to note all these down. She found the Pet Diary app from the iOS app store. She opens the app, scans through the onboarding screens, learning that this is where she can track Bella’s important matters. She decides to give it a try.

My company Hearsay Systems organized an internal iOS development bootcamp, hosted by CodePath. I’ve been working with our mobile team a bit, and really want to hone my skills on app design, so this would be a great opportunity to dig into it.
