Designflows ’21

About the contest

Website

Designflows is a product design contest for EU based designers.

The challenge

A head hunter from Bending Spoons invited me to me to participate in the contest back in 2021. I received a briefing to create an application for a fictional app “Homely”. The app’s purpose was to allows it’s user t rent tools for their crafty projects.

What was needed

The briefing asked for 4 items in order to qualify to review by the jury

1. App Icon

2. Toolkit Rental screen

3. My Rentals screen

4. How it Works screen

story

My vision for the app was bold, fun and because I figured from the briefing’s description of the user persona that it’s probably an app for younger people who have not yet accumulated a ton of tools as someone more mature might have.

Hence I picked loud colours and a brutalist design approach making the app as direct as possible. I also made custom detailed illustrations to really go with the show-don’t-tell approach, which was seemingly hinted at by the briefing.
