The Sadeeq Travel Mobile App project aimed to design a user-friendly, culturally resonant, and visually engaging platform for travellers exploring Qatar. The goal was to create a seamless experience for planning trips, discovering attractions, and accessing essential services, all while reflecting Qatar's vibrant culture through thoughtful UI/UX design. By building a robust design system, the project focused on clarity, accessibility, and efficiency to ensure the app is both functional and aesthetically appealing, meeting the needs of modern travellers.
I had an excellent experience using Figma, which really expanded my knowledge of designing for small screens, particularly mobile apps. One of the key takeaways was realizing how crucial it is to develop a robust design system. This approach helped me streamline my work and made the whole design process much more efficient.
I discovered that prioritizing user experience plays a vital role in my designs. For small screens, I opt for clear, easy-to-read sans-serif fonts. I pay close attention to the sizes of various design elements, such as icons, headers, and footers, as well as the font sizes and weights. Additionally, I ensure that my colour choices provide good contrast to comply with AODA guidelines.
