Week 1: Work in Progress

UX Design / Product Spec:

The mobile app is a digital product that is designed for the users. The features include streamlined ticketing, establishing a space travel forum, and providing space photography theme challenges and rewards to enhance the space travel experience. Users can use these functions to order tickets, share space trips, and collect points for space travel. You can also take part in various games of the space elevator.

Technical:

The construction of a space elevator is a highly technical project involving complex scientific principles and engineering technology. By interpreting the engineering drawings of the space elevator through complex lines, I aim to convey the high-tech nature of the space elevator.

Minimalism:

The minimalist design style can highlight the high-tech nature of the space elevator more intuitively, thus showing the symbol of future technology. The use of minimalism in the promotion can reduce unnecessary distractions and make the audience feel modern and forward-looking about the space elevator.

Dynamic:

The dynamic design can reflect the space elevator that provides efficient and convenient space exploration travel for passengers. Dynamic elements are designed to appeal to those who are interested in technology and space exploration and to inspire more people to be interested in exploring the universe.

I chose "technical" and "minimalism" because these two keywords directly align with what I perceive as the advanced technology and engineering of the space elevator project. "Dynamic," on the other hand, reflects the continuous development and innovation in human technology. These three keywords are intended to strongly appeal to the target audiences of the space elevator. "Technical" and "minimalism" are particularly appealing to individuals with an interest in modern science and technology, as they emphasize efficiency and precision, qualities associated with advanced engineering. "Dynamic" attracts those who enjoy adventure and exploring the unknown, as it signifies ongoing progress and innovation in human endeavors. In conclusion, I believe these three keywords are the best choice for the space elevator theme because they align with the theme and have broad appeal to diverse audiences.

Through this process, I have gained a deeper understanding of the connection between the three keywords I chose and the overall theme. It has allowed me to form a preliminary design direction in my mind and better articulate the core concepts and appeal of the space elevator theme.
