Design Narrative
Designing ATLiens was a fun process. We wanted to create an app to help people who travel to Atlanta find more off the grid locations to stay, eat, or visit. We learned that not everyone enjoys being a typical tourist or visiting crowded tourist attractions. We wanted to create an experience that could really help people feel at home in Atlanta while having unique experiences. We also wanted to devise a way we could attract business to small, local businesses, so our motive behind the app was two-fold.
There were quite a few things we needed to consider while designing the app. We wanted the app to be a one-stop shop for all travel needs, so there was quite a lot of features the app needed to have. We had to be careful to ensure the process would be streamlined if the user wanted to book multiple experiences. We made sure to make navigation simple by including a nav bar on the bottom of every screen. We also made the app as minimal as possible by hiding away extraneous features.
