The Redesigned Daily Horoscope App

Compared to the Petfinder app redesign, I worked to redesign the Daily Horoscope app with a partner. At first we had a hard time finding an app to redesign until we were talking about horoscopes one day and thought about how there are so many horoscope apps out there and how similar they are. Each one of the horoscope apps that we looked at for research and inspiration all had the same style and theme, the use of stars and the colors blue, purple, and green. We decided on the app Daily Horoscope, and wanted to challenge ourselves to see how we can utilize the star theme in way that hasn’t been used so much and to see how we can make it different and unique while still having it seen as a horoscope app. Getting to know this app we began using it and realized that there some aspects that were confusing and it came up in multiple user testing. After sketches and mockups, we decided to go with a simple look and use 3 colors (purple, blue (with a starry background but has a unique look), and grey). To learn more about how this was created check out the process book and try out the app for yourself!
