minimal os - messanger

project by Stefanie Hutschig and Nadine Bernhardt

this messenger app brings news, messages and emails together on one screen. with this app you can connect worldwide and with its minimalistic design you have everything at a glance. the globe rotates according to your priorities. you can search individual regions for news or can view everything listed by time.

mental model

„a messenger app is a tool to stay in digital contact with the environment“.

thoughts

starting out is always difficult . how do you design an app that should combine not only messages, but also emails and news. quite different things that are nevertheless the same in terms of function.

so our thought was to put all three elements on one level. Each message should appear in the same way.

our main focus was to incorporated the earth graphically into the design as a symbol of the environment. we roughly drew a 2D globe in illustrator. but it quickly became clear that this globe should definitely work in 3D.
