Hykoo is an American-Israeli startup with the central office located in Brooklyn, New York. What lies at the heart of the main concept of the proposed app is haiku, which is a form of the traditional Japanese poetry consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. At a conceptual level, they decided to rethink the idea of haiku from the perspective of the high-tech age and to create an app that bundles video (3 blocks) with audio and short texts.

The challenge that I set for myself was coming up with a creative concept for a mobile app and a website, developing a refreshing design and graphic elements that would be able to attract new users and to maintain those who have been using the product for a while. In order to achieve this, I made a research during which I have examined the opponent apps and have learned their pros and cons. Further, I have traced the recent video and photo apps evolvement tendencies and incorporated the insights that I gained from my project. After doing the main part of the work on my own, using Adobe Photoshop and Sketch, I presented the finished materials to the art director of the developing company. It is noteworthy that the working process included not only research and working out of the concept and the design but also creating mock-ups and sketches, based on the UX-source files. Finally, I developed an icon for a mobile app, based on the logo used by the start-up as the symbol of their product.

I paid special attention to what is in my view the most important for a new user, which is, tutorials. All the info is divided into 5 sections and is fashioned in a form of cards with graphic elements when every card highlights another key feature of the app (I created illustrations in a flat style for the music section, based on well-known music albums).

For these sections, I designed special icons that the user is evidently familiar with, while they are still in tune with the overall style of the app.

Besides the concept and the design of the mobile version of the app, I developed mock-ups and designed the official website. I created a landing page that includes info about the main features and possibilities of the app. The page is stylized in shadow tones that emphasize the screens of the mobile app and attractively contrast with the text.
