Mobile Banking app (Re-design)

This project is a re-design of the previous UI created for the app when it was being launched.

The design was hurriedly developed and did not conform to the Principles of a Good UI Design such as;-

Hierarchy - Prioritizing information. Created through variations in color, font-size & even contrast.

White space - Isolating element with white space makes content easily readable, and a clean UI

Visual Appeal - Using appropriate color palettes, images, gradients, and typography to make the UI appeal to the eye

As seen in the photos below, the old UI was lacking a bit of touch. It was plain, and everything looked the same.

Feedback from clients suggests that they weren't interested in using the app anymore, let alone using it for transactions/tracking their expenses.

Therefore, we took action to re-design the app's interface which will later be translated into development (coding the app itself).

A few issues outlined include;-

- No hierarchy among elements - made it hard to distinguish between normal text & a button.

- Boring Color Palette - The colors used either weren't used/blended well enough, or they did not suit the interface at all.

- Poor Use of Whitespace - 'Buttons' had uniform spacing, dimensions, and alignment, but too little white space left. No element isolation, no easy readability.

The new design addressed the issues mentioned above by following a few Principles of design written in the acronym; CRAP

C > Contrast - Establishes a hierarchy among your elements. (i.e., use of different font-sizes to outline the heading and normal text).

R > Repetition - Creates consistency. (using the same layout repetitively creates a recognizable pattern. User can memorize element mappings easy)

A > Alignment - Organizes elements into groups. (i.e., parent & child elements are always aligned together to the left)

P > Proximity - Makes elements seem related, thus info close-by could be related. (i.e., elements near a big heading are most likely related)

Main page that shows all that you can do with the app.

From making transactions (i.e., Deposit/Withdraw money), to tracking all your expenses.

The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is also an addition from the previous UI, thus very convenient for end-users wanting to navigate through the app freely.
