SCIE Today
A mobile app for SCIE students to access school systems.
Possible the most important feature of a school mobile app - ease of use. Thousands of students use SCIE Today on a daily basis, and the home screen has been redesigned numerous times to ensure that information are presented in a most effective way.
The entire home screen UI is dynamic, a carefully designed algorithm pre-sort information based on their importance, and the most important ones (e.g. new assessment scores) are placed on the top.
While putting functionality as the priority certainly limited the aesthetic freedom of the app, it still had a lot of potential for customization.
The two most important features are theme colors, and the banner - the block of color on the top of the app. Initially, it was there to look good, but that space had alot of potential. Different animations and graphics can be displayed inside, and they are designed in a way to adapt to any user themed color. This binary combination allowed for unique outlooks on every phone - reflecting the school's diversity and respect for personal expression.
We took further advantage of this feature by joining it with certain events, school or cultural. For example, on Christmas, not only would a snowman theme be available, we also covered the entire UI with snow in a way that does not hinder the app's usability significantly.
A special event for SCIE's Programmer's Day, awarding participants with an exclusive cyber skin.
On international week, greetings in different languages are shown on the banner.
The UI would be covered with snow on Christmas, a new feature allowing people to send gifts to friends was also made. The number of gifts you receive will show up on your banner next to the christmas tree.
20th Anniversary Mini-Program
UI/UX | SWE
My highschool, SCIE, celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023. I was contacted by our admissions office about a potential mini-program on WeChat, China's largest social platform, to celebrate this milestone.
The goal of the app was to bring and connect our alumni around the world. So an idea regarding an app where everyone can send their best wishes & greetings came into fruition.
The app featured a flying banner of greetings sent from people around the world, showing the global reach of our alumni network.
It also featured an auto-generated poster system (see left), where users can save a poster showing their participation in this event.
The program was online for 1 week, the duration of our school's celebration. It saw 4000+ greetings being sent across every continent except Antarctica.
