THE BRAND


17/28

PERSONAL | THOUGHTFUL | CURIOUS | EXPLORATORY

KEYWORDS

When thinking about branding, and what I want these platforms to look like I wanted to focus on these keywords: Thoughtful, Curious, Personal, and Exploratory


18/28

After going into 2 di!erent design directions for branding I decided to go with remark. I choose the name remark, because the types of questions being asked are peoplesremarks or statements.


19/28

COLORS

R: 71

G: 178

B: 163

R: 203

B: 255

The color choosen gives a sense of thought and curiousness [click], with a script type that looks almost handwritten to leave a personal mark since these are peoplesthoughts.

WIREFRAMES

After figuring out the brand phase, i moved into some sketches to see what this would look like


21/28

I started out with some rough sketches on what this would look like, and exploring di!erent ways to show information


22/28

USERS

NICK, 26 MORGAN, 18

College Graduate Freshman in College

4. Web: Sort Method

Scenarios

1. Web: New Account

2. App: Write Post

3. App: Sort Method

After some sketches I needed to figure out who my users are and what my scenarios are going to be. [Click] Meet Nick and Morgan, Nick is an existing user, and morganis a new user [click] Nicks scenarios include 2 web and 2 app expiernces. [click] morgans scenarios include 1 web and 2 app.


23/28

Once my scenarios were figured out I could then start building some high fidelity sketches going through the phases of how each scenario would work. Each scenario wasbuilt out using this framework.


24/28

I then created some digital wireframes, so that when designing I knew where things would go, and the general framework for both the app and website


25/28

Currently I am focusing on designing all the scenarios one by one, and hopefully within the next 2 weeks I will be able to start animating. Here are the first 3 screens ofthe Replying to a Notification.


26/28

I also wanted to show you what the website looks like This is the main hub screen that features the question of the day from remark, your news feed from who you follow,and a trending bar.
