How to use Moqups

-





Once I had my app prototype off to a steady start, I began looking at making a prototype for my homebased web page, I followed tutorials on a website called Moqups and used their site to create it, the web page would be strictly for downloading the app, so there wouldn’t be any actual content apart from the ‘GRLZZZ club pass’ and the link to downloading it on the app store. The site is very pink and purple based the bright pinks and white text allow the viewers to notice them. Going forward I would have incorporated flashing images and GIFs to make the web page more interactive.


Moqups is a quick, easy way to create diagrams, mockups and prototypes online and share 
them. When you go on the site it allows you a free trial in which leads to a page with labels pointing to everything and explaining everything you would need to know. I found it really easy with this labelled format and didn’t feel overwhelmed with information but enough to be able to use the site without issues, the layout is very simple and clean cut making it easy to use. When developing my prototype of the home page I wanted it to be very straight forward, so opted to use links from Moqups tool box which allowed me to create a text which would display like a click link, I done this so that the user would be aware that you can just click the link and go to the app store to download the featured app.

Branding of my own App

When starting to design my branding I wanted the imagery of it to be reflective of the name, a little bit punk and rebellious due to the demographic and the links to empowerment for young girls to use creating a fun platform. I started the branding off in Adobe Colour, looking through all the different shades that I could and wanted to use I then applied this to my work, for example: I thought the pink fire would display a quirky fun style and the old English writing was something I played around with whilst sketching to get an idea of how it would look in once in photoshop, which I was happy with the result. I just uploaded my sketches and then used the polygonal lasso tool to select the sections I needed and then fill coloured them with a solid purple, lastly adding the linear burn to create the transparent effect. For the actual logo I wanted to design something in a 3D effect so used photoshop to help me do so, I created the ‘GRLZZZ’ name in a 3D...

marketing and design

In terms of marketing when it comes to my own product, I designed a poster/banner that could target my audience through web and in print. The ad could be used on small banners that pop up on social media platforms or even on news/lifestyle websites. The design concept of the ad is the dollar signifies a ticket, which is a pass to access the “GRLZZZ Club” meaning the app. Next to the pass is an IPhone displaying the front page of the app so that people are aware it is a mobile application. The pink colours used help it to stand out and create a girly aesthetic with a fun vibe.

Competitors:

Cosmopolitan is a worldwide fashion magazine for woman, the website is very similar in terms of the context that I want to portray in my app. What makes my app different from their website, is the fact it will all be in the palm of your hand, all on one platform. I tested out cosmopolitans UK’s app in order to see what actual competition is out there, from what I found their app doesn’t actually provide any form of interactivity with its user, you just have the monthly published issue of their magazine in which you can download and read. The Sun newspaper and well known British tabloid newspaper have recently adding a channel to the discover page on snapchat, allowing their news and gossip to be targeted at a young audience in a fun creative way. Their website also contains a lot of information allowing you to click onto the genre that you want, filtering it down to exactly you want to see,...
