Prototype

I designed a rough, wizard of oz’d prototype that comprised of a clear case with an “emoji” stand in the middle, paired with a mobile app. The emoji in the clear case is meant to show a water tank that has a type of screen in the center depicting an emoji. The idea is that users can enter their intentions that they want to capture on the mobile app. As these resolutions pile up and the user does not make progress, the tank fills with water as if the emoji is slowly drowning. The emoji’s expression slowly changes in response to the rising water. This is meant to portray the idea that our forgotten intentions can accumulate while we are not paying attention, and the next thing we know, we find ourselves overwhelmed and drowning in a lot of unfinished business.

The case with the emoji was made of simple paper, foam board, plastic, and a small canvas for the base. The mobile application prototype was drafted in Sketch and then the flow mocked up using Framer X.  I added a simple "hamburger" menu to quickly depict the two extreme examples in the prototype which were "Happy" and "Dead".
