This project was a visualization of a proposed location-based social media app where individuals could connect with others in and around their area by joining in public chat, meeting locals, and connecting with brand new people.

The process

To finalize the animations for this project I created sheets of elements for each part of the planned motion graphic.

An idea I wanted to address in the design was how to get users not only to communicate from home, but to get them to go out and engage with their surroundings.

  • Regional chat allows users to chat and connect with people in and around their city.

    Conversations appear on the map and grow and shrink based on user engagement through up and down voting.

  • Local chat allows people to create postings about events and activities that users can engage with as part of their immediate surroundings. Like a location based forum.

  • Users fall into one of 3 categories while using private chat on the app; unmet, acquaintance, and friends.

    Unmet users cannot message you, acquaintances can request private chats, and friends can freely message you.

  • The contacts feature of the app is split between acquaintances and friends.

    This feature displays each time you have met a certain user; where and when.
