Here is a short YouTube video demonstraring all the features included in Pocket Change.

1.0 Problem to Solve

Previously, I managed my expenses by using a cumbersome Excel spreadsheet that was both time-consuming and frustrating to work with. Its lack of intuitiveness posed a significant challenge.

This experience inspired us to develop Pocket Change, a user-friendly budgeting web-app that simplifies the process of inputting and monitoring financial information.

2.0 Prototyping

Story Board

We created a story board to visualize the user flow along with low fidelity prototypes to help visualize our design.

3.0 Design Strategy

Logo

The color blue represents both a sense of balance and creates a visually engaging impact.

By incorporating a small money bag, our logo effectively complements our branding strategy.

We carefully selected a contemporary san-serif font that aligns seamlessly with our clean and sleek UI.

Layout

The use of cards promotes visual hierarchy and enhances user comprehension.

The grid system establishes consistency and alignment, fostering a seamless and user-friendly experience.

Mobile

For mobile UI, side bar get reduced to display only icons.

Color Pallet

In our color pallet we made sure to include vibrant, powerful colors that would stand out and harmonize with a light and dark background.
