User experience is such a huge part of digital design these days, product design methodologies have made a huge impact. I wanted to add another string to my bow, it was time for a refresher.

I learned a great deal on this course. Some of it was new, some of it I already did, but it had a different name. It was a fun and inspirational experience – recommended

App Design

Brief

Design an application to help London Flatmates to improve their recycling.

Solution

Everyone in our user interviews complained about the lack of information available. What is recyclable and what isn’t. What do all the icons on packaging actually mean? Our app came packed with a tonne of information, icons explained, bid day reminder and a barcode scanner with an ‘ask your supermarket why this isn’t recyclable’ button.
