Dunnit App Design
Creative Brief
Dunnit is a task manager / productivity app that helps people quickly organise their time and complete goals with the help of categories, calender views and gamification. This is app design was created so that I could gain experience creating a more complex UI/UX design project – and make a working app prototype. All of the visual assets were made with Adobe Illustrator. This was my second app design using Adobe XD.
You still have 3 items left on your to do list ... Have you dunnit?
The name “dunnit” puts a spin on the well-known writing convention in detective fiction known as a “whodunnit”. This genre is known for its complex, mysterious and puzzling storylines… In real life, the average person is expected to flexibly juggle a neverending to-do list (whether its for the home and family, social, health and exercise, errands, etc). For this reason, I decided that this concept would be the perfect name for my app prototype.
Vector Assets
Using the Pen Tool and the Gradient Mesh Tool in Adobe Illustrator, I made some simple geometric shapes to populate my app. My goal was to add a pop of colour to an otherwise plain and minimalist UI for a sense of playfulness without looking too busy.
When researching other Productivity Apps currently on the market, I found that they often use colours as a way for categorising tasks as a quick visual indicator. Additionally, most people are familiar with using apps like Google Calendar now, which is why dunnit’s colour scheme/UI is heavily inspired by this look. This will achieve improved ease of use and accessibility for new users.
