UX / UI design

Cover story

A mobile app for hippies who want to continue traveling freely during COVID lockdowns. The app builds a cover story and teaches it, helps evade police and backs the user up in real time. The project was made during COVID-19 quarantine when it was forbidden to go out freely.

Research

The problem

During lockdown hippies can't continue living their chill lifestyle and travel wherever they want because the police arrests those who drive for non-essential needs.

Target Audience

Hippies that love the open air and can't stay indoors for a long time. They know that there is an epidemic out there but they don't care to follow the ever-changing rules.

Concept

the solution

A mobile app that builds a cover story for the user and backs them up in real time in case of need. This will help them to travel safely wherever they want and reach their destination without being caught by police.

visual concept

The combination between chill users and the stressful situation with the policeman is problematic. Therefore, it was necessary to design the interface in a pleasant way that would suit the hippie vibe. I did this through illustrations, abstract shapes, natural colors and typography that makes the situation accessible for the user.

Main features

Learning the cover story

Divided into short stages. Each step is has two parts: what the user needs to do and what the app will do for them.

Training

The app simulates a conversation with a police officer in order to train the user and provides remarks on performance, acting skills, etc.

mission STARTS

The app disappears and works in the background for the entire drive and gives an alert before reaching a police checkpoint.

FAKE supporting evidence

The app sends fake messages or calls in real time in front of the police officer. Interfacing with the car's radio and activates a fake news update that supports the cover story.

Design

logo design

Hippie style manual typography, round and natural. An open shackle that symbolizes the release from the cage to the outside world.

Typography

Font 37 - The typography is slightly round, giving a feeling of manual handwriting.
Font Actual - Functions as a readable running font but comes with a twist of roundness.

Color Palette

Natural colors, bright pastel shades for a pleasant and comfortable feeling.
