Kismet is an astrology mobile application prototype that is designed to target youths who are interested in horoscope and daily predictions, as well as compatibilities between different horoscopes and individuals.


This solo project was completed in Year 1 of Digipen (Singapore), 2021.


Application used for creation: Figma

Role: UI Designer, Prototyping

Tasks taken on are as follows:

  • UX, UI Design

  • Application Prototyping and Iterations

Goals

  • Providing users with a platform where they can easily browse through daily news and information that the astrology application will provide

What was done?

As a UI designer in this solo project, I focused more on the aesthetics of this prototype, as well ensuring that the interactions and functions of the application is user-friendly and simple to understand. I had the opportunity to reflect about the various kinds of aesthetics as well as interactions that a Horoscope themed mobile application can use, and determine the designs and frame transitions that can capture the attention of my target audiences.


Upon the launch of this solo project, I first conducted a research on different Horoscope themed applications such as The Pattern, Co-Star and TheDailyHoroscope to find out the services, site elements and information they provide for users. After drafting out a brief site map for my own project based on my research, I proceeded to the creation of my mobile application prototype on Figma.

Prototype's Screens

Thought Process


In consideration of my target audiences, the youths, I decided that having a minimalistic and concise style would appeal to them more as compared to having pages filled with clutter and overwhelming details. The mobile application's color scheme is kept to black and white theme as the main color scheme for aesthetic and branding purposes.


The frame transitions are kept to a smooth and standard transition to ensure that users are aware of the responses and actions that the application is carrying out based on their interactions with it.

Project Retrospectives

From this project, some key takeaways include:

  • Importance of time management

    As I have limited time to work on this project, I struggled to finish the prototype since I wanted to incorporate several functions and pages into the prototype. Hence, to ensure that the quality of the work is not compromised, I decided to focus on the important pages and sections so that they can be featured in the prototype upon submission.


  • Managing Figma screens

    Although I have created sufficient screens for the prototype, I feel that it could have been neater and less cluttered in the project draft.
