Hi! I am a graphic design student. I’am assigned with a project named UniLodge - Roommates feature for mobile app in which I have to use the design sprint to process with my assignment.

Here’s a brief deconstruction of my assigned brief.

Brief deconstruction

I have do a brief deconstruct to understand more about my client objective of the app. The aim for this brief is to design a prototype for roommates feature and to make student feel better by choosing their own roommates .

Design sprint is a five day process but as a student we have many assigned assignments that’s why we have taken four weeks to complete the design sprint.

A bit on design sprint process

Week 1: Mapping and sketching

Week 2: Storyboard

Week 3: Prototype

Week 4: User Testing

The break down of the work from week 1 to week 4.

Week 1: Mapping and sketching

I have started with a mapping to understand more about the brief. Creating a design sprint user journey (includes discovery, Learn, Use and the Goal of the targeted audience). This activity was to understand the target audience which are university student and to understand the goal.

Design Sprint Mapping

The main aim of this design Sprint is to make do an roommate feature for making the experience better. Sticky notes were used on this process to evaluate the “assumption questions and How Might We” questions.

Moving on the sketches which i have done for the app view. This step is done to understand how the prototype will look. This steps has help me a lot to do the another activity which is the storyboard.

Week 2: Storyboard

Here I have done a brief writing of how the app will look like about the pages.

Using sticky notes to make storyboard board with detail

To select the best features/solutions foe the prototype. With help with my friends I have done the green and red dot which means green is the right solution and red is not the right solution.

Miro application has been used to make this activity

After the red and green dots activity i have crop the best layout to understand more about how my app will look like.

Selection of layout
Logo and icons
Chosen type font

My chosen type font is Helvetica Neue which is a bit identical to the original font on the application of UniLodge since I was not able to find the original font , I will use this for my application prototype.
