This week I met with my team members Riley, Laith, Kek and Shao. We decided that the app that we wanted to vivisect was Venmo: a peer-to-peer payment app that is rapidly growing in popularity.
Venmo is special because it enables users to send money to each other using an interface comparable to a text message as well as combining the payments with a small social media. I assigned myself to analyse the app's design principles as my other group members researched the user-interface, back-end and business model. I learned that the design is oriented about being "content-first", fast, mobile and trustworthy. The new venmo design was finalised after having studied a world-leader in application design, apple, and its iOS7 applications. The venmo co-founders want the apps design to evoke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjuRhETwbI0
After having finished research and preparing information to share with each other, we met up again and put together a 5-slide deck to present our findings to the rest of the class.
That's all for now!
Cheers,
Oliviero
