Scope of work
The project involved Graphic designers, UX-UI designers, illustrators and developers who combined their efforts to deliver a robust digital product
Research
A report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed that In 2019, nearly a billion people
– including 14% of the world’s adolescents – were living with a mental disorder. Depression and
anxiety went up by more than 25% in the first year of the pandemic alone.
Over 70% of individuals suffering from mental illnesses remain untreated, resulting in a
significant treatment gap.
+ Challenge
I couldn't recruit medical practitioners for interviews due to the timeline of the project.
+ Decisions
Having spoken to users and understanding them, I decided to design Saga, a mobile application that would help in the prevention of mental health and providing motivation to users.
Research
Subsequently, I began sketching the screens outlined in the user flows, visualizing their ppearance on a mobile device and breathing life into the design concept.
Visual and typograpy hierarchy
Visual hierarchy is the principle of arranging elements to show their order of importance. Designers structure visual characteristics—e.g., menu icons—so users can understand information easily. By laying out elements logically and strategically, designers influence users’ perceptions and guide them to desired actions. Users notice larger elements more easily can convert.
