Since having feedback back for my competition Duolingo work, I’ve aimed to improve my outcomes to hand in to DA&D but also improve my overall university grade as I really want to give myself one last push to achieve the best I can so I booked in a 10 minutes tutorial call with David to discuss my whole concept and outcomes so far to improve them.
when I joined the call I kept beating up my concept and ideas to myself as I felt they weren’t the strongest outcomes I’ve ever designed but ii said to David when I designing theses at the time I was mentally struggling with some issues os I just thrown together theses outcomes with no thought but he told me I should be proud of myself for competing the drafts and speaking now and wanting to change instead of just leaving.
boarding pass ticket
while speaking to David I showed him the start draft of the ticket and the improvements I did on the ticket the other day and changing the colours to green to fit in the brand, he believe the green changes have really pushed the designed more and maybe adding more personal touches to the design like a certain users could really help make the design connect with someone ( change user location) could always hyrachy with the blue font to the duolingo app so it goes back to getting people to use the app again.
- change my duolingo Arline name to just duolingo logo
- could always add duolingo own sitting on the plane makes more play to the outcomes
- change the colour to of text back ( I personally dislike the blue )
Passport design
The feedback I had back on the passport was making the passport more like a special outcomes only some many users will get sent this passport so it makes it more of a special outcome, The passport changes recommend was changing the the name maybe from “my duolingo passport” to our journey so it make the user connect the app more even using the logo from the brand guidelines on the front page, Adding the owl more into the passport can really help bring the design more into the brands
- adding in the owl more
- change the front pages to our journey – connects more
the second ticket – show the benefits
this outcomes was a design I personally really dislike however David really liked it, for my own sake I think I’m going to explore other layout to show on Monday tutorial and experiment outcomes always make more play and could help make the outcome stick
apart of mine and David discussion from my old feedback was that I was recommend on making a stamp that link with this project or something else I pitched my idea of making a postage stamp so it will used on a written note and travel to another location but it also market the app a bit more than just one location this could be seen playful, I also said to David about me making a poster and I just it so cliche but he highly recommend the poster as it market my whole idea and the passport more so when people do get the passport they will use it instead of Binning, another outcome that recommend was trying out stickers that could ge placed on this I really love this outcome idea and sticker always bring joy and can easily catch someone eye making it a marketing method.
taking away from this meeting, I feel so much more happier with where I am with my concept and know that I can so much more and better outcomes I can develop over the weekend to take forward and could really help me aim for a better outcomes for final submission in may but also in DA&D
