Message + Siri interface redesign
-
Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world, and many people like to its product for many reasons such as design and interface. Also, the company is not only a global corporation but also settled as a trend leader. However, Apple tends to focus on the customer who is familiar with using English. Considering this, people using other languages would be in trouble because of the language barrier. Also as I use the iPhone6, I experienced several inconveniences regarding using text message and interface design such as color and 3D touch. So I want to progress this project as a user experience design project.
Concept
• Client
Apple
• Target Audience
- iPhone user
- Someone who is weak at speaking the second language
• Components
- Logo, Mobile application, Branding components
Goal of concept
Logo
Branding
• Business card
- The gradient in the logo will be changed depending on people's voice
• Envelope
• ID card holder
• Poster
Intro screen
This is a guerrilla marketing idea for promoting the app presentation. Considering that many people tend not to prefer to spend time on advertising such as complicated poster or magazine, I thought that the factor that is close to people would be good for promoting my product naturally.
Message + Siri Interface Redesign
• Voice message + Message
Although Apple creates cutting-edge technology like Siri, and applies this to the message app, I believe they the option is under-utilised in the message app. The present voice message cannot be used with text message and images together and only can be used separately, which means that it has only alternative regarding a text message. I think using together has many possibilities.
• Various types of Notification
When using current the message app, users have to select the people who they want contact separately. Also, because the user should remember the people who they will contact, the message app in iOS9 would be inconvenient when the user tries to send a message in the speech bubble to the other, Apple’s interface that is currently in use is providing only one copy and paste option. I am always unhappy about that, so I made a solution in this project.
• Dictionary
From the perspective of many international students, a lack of second language skill is a tricky problem. Also, because English has different language style, formal and informal, foreign people have a hard time choosing right words in public. The current iPhone dictionary app is providing variable content and information regarding the word that the user searches. In this sense, providing a more effective service for the foreign people who are less skilled at English can make them utilize the app, which would contribute to improving Apple’s brand image.
• Swiping Keyboard
Bringing photographs and website URL has become one of the primary options to all chatting apps. But people still have to turn off the message app for many reasons and then go back to the app. iOS9’s new keyboard design has the option that can bring other apps to the message app but because users cannot manage the options. It is hard to say their new interface design is a good solution. So I redesigned that and tried to make the best use of keyboard space.
