This is a design for an app that I wish I could make from start to finish. An app that could act as an online registry/wish list for any occasion, and could be added to from any website or from that user making an entry for an item.
App features include the ability to search for others’ lists, and buy and mark items as purchased, either from the website or store that the user found the item in, or from a different source.
The opening splash page evokes confetti thrown into the air, champagne bubbles, sparklers, and the bokeh effect used in event photography. It instantly gives the app a celebratory feeling.
I chose a color palette with a heavy emphasis on purple, a color that is simultaneously associated with fun and with regality. I picture this app to be used by anyone, from people with traditional registry events like weddings and baby showers, to housewarming and birthday celebrations, or even as a running wish list to share with others when the holiday season rolls around. Purple is a color that can span all of these events, signifying elegance and whimsy at the same time.
The logo and app icon for the Present app went through three iterations, most notably changing the location of the gift’s bow and the background color. I personally am very happy with the simplicity of the final logo/app icon.
Present’s mood board helped me to see what I wanted the app to feel like for the user - exciting, celebratory, fun, and a touch of elegance.
The hi-fi wireframes. Some of the screens. I created screens for managing one’s lists, editing items, finding another person’s list, and sharing lists with others. Colors and Typefaces were brought over from the style guide. These illustrate the screens for finding a friend’s list, and purchasing an item off of it, one of the main functions of this app. Other functions include creating and maintaining personal gift lists, sharing those lists with others, and adding items to these lists from other websites and the real world.
