Problem statement

Day by day, human beings are trying to achieve more by maximizing the accumulation and consumption of physical facilities. We are becoming unkind, unconcerned to people, nature, and missing our core responsibilities for society and mother earth.

There is a need for a tool that will help every individual to learn, plan, and adopt gratitude skills to become more sympathetic and a better human being. Also, there is a need for real-time tracking and execution of individuals' social goals and ecological footprints to maintain social and natural harmony.

User persona

After need-finding exercise (survey and focus group), I did an analysis of user data findings and identified the following personas for the conceptual app:

• Practice seeker
• Advanced practitioner 

Practice seekers are novice users of gratitude and ecological footprint monitoring practice. They are seeking more details about popular and effective practices. They also need frequent scheduling and reminding support to get started with gratitude and ecological footprints monitoring practice.

Advanced practitioners are expert users who are already practicing gratitude and ecological footprint monitoring without any tools. The objective of the user is to enhance the practice schedules, adopting more practices, tracking practice progress, and motivating others.

User storyboard

Created an illustrated storyboard to visualize ‘practice seekers to advanced practitioners’ experience with the help of a gratitude notification mobile app. This helped me to get better visibility of how the user interaction would be involved throughout the app experience.

High-fidelity prototype

During the high-fidelity prototype, visual design was one of the key aspects of Gratitude Notification Mobile App design. I strongly believe that a clean and concise visual scheme can improve the user experience significantly as a natural urge of the human brain is to see comforting colors on surfaces that are glaring. Along with visual design elements, I did more focus on the Affordances, Signifiers, and Clickability aspect of the design to make offered functions more obvious and intuitive.
