ASOS - Designing the APP

ASOS APP 

Before i began mocking up the app that i would have made i made a big mind map so i could finalise all the final categories and what order the app would be displayed in.

For the d&ad brief i also decided to produce an app. To begin mocking up i create a few initial ideas and began developing.

I made a large mind map to note down the Asos App start to finish and each page of the app and where each page would lead to next.


Sketches of what will go onto each page of the App.


I decided to keep the theme and use a monochrome pattern on the landing page for the app.First testing it with bright green , simply white and then deciding on Grey as it works well with black and white and is also a unisex colour.




I made a document in illustrator with multiple art boards with the measurements of an iPhone screen and began putting my designs in order within the art boards following my sketches for reference.


I decided to mockup my loading page as a poster and on an iPhone to see how it looked and if it had enough impact.


I decided to changed the word revive to white so it stood out more. I used a modelling picture given to me by carmel and changed the opacity to 50%.


I did this for 3 pages of the App briefly describing the app. These pages you would only see until you had signed up.


At this stage of designing i had got the illustrations of the clothes designed by Carmel so i began making these pages first.


After double checking the branding guidelines it was brought to my attention you had to have 'discover fashion online' under the Asos logo. So i changed my first pages slightly by adding in the specific sentence. Unfortunately i had already designed the magazine so when it comes to photographing the magazine for the images i will use for my boards i will simple edit the relevant pages.




Like Andrew suggested ( The person who i had contacted to mock up the App digitally to an iPhone) i made the first sign in page have a sign in with Facebook tab and sign in with twitter tab.


Also a page available for you to add your friends through those specific social media sites.

For the live feed page this is the first page you would see i made it as though it was already existing so there was friends currently posting there fashion to a live feed. I kept the consistency like the look book using the geometric pattern at the top of pages.

I also created tabs so that you have the option to like and comment on peoples daily edits that they upload.
Also a 'home' button a 'search' button a 'revive' button a 'notifications' button and finally a 'more' button.

The search page which is next gives the options to look at your friends there locations there uploads and shop on asos.com.
Once your clicked on a specific section the tab at the bottom will highlight black so you know which page you are on.

Categories pages - These pages are designed for the user so there searches are much more refined and people can click on there favourite style of clothing without a million searches coming up.


Revive page - 
Location page i used an image of a friend wearing asos clothes this page has been designed so that people can view your location photographs when your out and about.
Daily edit - uploading your own clothes.
Purchases page you can share what you have recently bought so people can search and buy your fashion finds.

Notifications your revive friends can leave comments or like your posts. I kept a circular theme for images throughout with a 50% opacity like the landing pages.


More -  Gives the options to look at saved items , your friends and settings.
