About
Visual is a content learning platform that publishes visual content for users to discover design happening around the world, in their city, and at home. The app utilizes an algorithm to curate content that adjusts to their interests the more they use it. Furthermore, ‘Visual’ uses data location to showcase that design is everywhere and closer to you than you think. Users can also personally engage with design through our AI, where the app will inform design elements from uploaded photos, such as fonts, hex colour codes, and other information. Ultimately, ‘Visual’ hopes to make high schools more aware of the design around them.

reflection
This was my first time doing a design challenge and working remotely on a project with design students from other schools. I was mainly in charge of the interaction design and interface design, making sure that the users can flow through the application easily. With the time limitation, I felt that we rushed through the research and ideation parts, and shifted our focus to the interface design too soon. However, my team and I were proud and happy about the outcome, and we look forward to more collaborations in the future.
