Our final mood board (1) was inspired by the magazine print in the bottom right corner of our original mood board (2) that we made in class. We liked the vibrant colors, and we thought that they seemed welcoming, which is a main intended attribute of our platform. Part of our reasoning for this is that we want to encourage outgoing and extroverted behavior, such as starting random conversations with strangers, which we felt it could be well represented using very poppy and eccentric colors.
Our style tile (3) was inspired by our mood board. The buttons included are the key buttons of our platform, including a heart allowing users to save questions they like to their profile, a pencil allowing users to add to their log for a given question, a save button to save changes to a log, and login/logout/sign up buttons. We also included an arrow meant to serve as a back button to allow for easier user navigation on the platform. Despite the complementary magenta and green, these seemingly clashing colors do a good job of really highlighting and making certain components really “pop”.
