Background

The Boost redesign project aims to improve and fix several UI/UX problems found in their mobile application. The elements updated were the home screen, the store screen, and UI kit. The main goal of this project was to improve the user experience and the user interface of the application.

Typography

The combination of Komet with Source Sans Pro generates highly readable content. Moreover, the boldness and slight curves of Komet work perfectly with the firm and refined glyphs of Source Sans Pro create, generating interest in the design.

Iconography

To improve the contrast in the menu, I decided to use line icons for menu items as default and glyph-type icons for the active menu.
I changed the iconography for the material design because of the cleanness and simplicity of their design.

Colour Pallete

I kept the primary colours of the brand; however, I included the orange as an accent to enhance the contrast and focal point of the call to action.

Components

I tried to maintain a clean and simple design through all the components. Using rounded corners to get a friendly approach and light lines to keep the focus on the information.
