Plutus App

UI/UX and Graphic Design

‍

Project Overview

Plutus, in Greek religion, is the god of abundance or wealth, a personification of ploutos (Greek: “riches”). Plutus is designed as a mobile app to help users track their spending and optimize budgets with just one click, collecting all transaction data on the phone, automatically organizing, and summarizing the information, allowing users to understand where their monthly expenses are going, and helping them identify and stick to their financial goals.

Competitor Analysis

The first step was to analyse the competitors and get familiar with the existing festival products, their pros and cons, and user’s reviews.

‍

Persona

I created personas to understand typical users' needs and desires, which in turn helped me build a more usable product.

‍

User Journey Map

I developed a user journey map to visualize the typical user's experience, aiding in the creation of a more user-friendly product.

‍

User Flow

I designed user flows to outline the steps users take within the app to accomplish their goals.

‍

‍

Low Wireframe & Prototype

I created low-fidelity wireframes and prototypes to visualize the app's layout and functionality.

‍

Design System

I implemented a design system to ensure consistency, structure, and communication across all team members. This included selecting a simple, readable humanist typeface to improve legibility and a mature yet modern color palette with good contrast. I also incorporated icons and friendly illustrations to enhance user engagement.

‍

Accessibility

Plutus app is designed to be accessible and usable for everyone. I followed accessibility standards and guidelines such as W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and Google's "Accessibility for Teams" to provide a better experience for all users.
