Date: Nov - Dec 2015
Skills Developed: UI Design, Brand Personality, Style Tile, Experience Map
Learnings:
• Learned how to analyze brand personality
• Honed UI design with tools including Sketch, inVision, and illustrator
• Created an APP that unified the visual styles and screen sizes
THE CONCEPT
Imagine a music streaming service, tailored entirely to the Virgin America passenger. What does it look like? How does it function? How do you like a service that crosses many platforms including the flight entertainment?
THE RESEARCH
Researching the brand personality and competitive landscape. Exploring the style via moodboard and sketches.
|
Brand Personality I sketched out Virgin Mobile and its potential competitors' brand personality to find out where 24.7Mixx should stand and how much personality it should inherit from its mother brand and what's new for itself. |
Logo Sketch Based on the research, I sketched out hundreds of ideas and tested with classmates and instructors until I found the one that best fits the brand and delivers the message of Mixx. |
|
|
Styletile Considering the logo sketches and moodboards, I developed a styletile that unifies the visual experiences across different platforms. |

Local Radio - An auditory sense of where you are.
When your airplane flies over a new area, local music will begin broadcasting.
|
Local Radio
When I interviewed potential users, many of them expressed their excitement when they visit new places. At the same time, they are fearful that they know nothing of the place they'll be visiting. Therefore, a radio station to play local music will help the user better connect to their environment through music. |
