ALANG

Language Exchange Mobile App

Before I came to Canada to study graphic design, I was looking for some people to exchange languages to practice my target language – English. There were already some websites and applications for language exchange but I was not satisfied with them. I couldn’t get notifications if I got messages from partners or they asked me to pay if I wanted to apply the filters to find the right partners. Simply, some of them were poorly designed. So I created the language exchange mobile application that helps people to find partners for free and also includes every features people would love to use such as a partner filter system or voice chat.

Roles

UX/UI Designer

Problem

Offering the easiest and simplest way to find language exchange partners

Solution

Creating three features that focused on finding partners and having a conversation

Users

Anyone who wants to practice their target lanugae with native speakers

Mood Board

I referred to some application design that offers human-centered service. I also looked up some filter design which is one of the most important features in the ALang app. I chose an emerald colour with vibrant gradients and streamlined design elements that are new UI design trends.

Lessons

I tried to put only a few core features since many applications have redundant pages that make users lost in the app. while making screens, I learned how to make simple and straight forward interface but still up-to-date UI design.
