In the afternoon of December 17, Kevin Leon Mendzies came to Sino-German College to give students a face-to-face lecture on how to design their own creative apps.
Kevin Leon Mendzies, UX designer and front-end development engineer, works in Bremen as an independent designer and producer of websites, specializing in HTML/CSS, web effects, crawler editing languages, image manipulation and other skills.
WIREFRAME wireframes, PROTOTYPE prototypes, MOCKUP mini-samples are the basic elements of an app design. A wireframe is largely a draft diagram used to make a structure, especially a diagrammatic structure for a web page or an app. It contains mainly the main content and material of these pages or apps. Wireframes are simple structures without colors or pictures. In short, wireframes are a kind of low-fidelity design diagram.
A prototype is a medium and high fidelity representation of the final user interface. When a button is pressed, an action takes place, which is an emulation of the complete product user experience. The goal of the prototype is clear: to simulate as realistically as possible the interaction used to interact with the interface.
A prototype is a "visual script". It is used to present the entire visual design of a product. It has richer visual materials than wireframes, such as diagrams, layouts, colors, and other more detailed visual displays. In a way, it is the final design of the product.
After learning video editing, photography skills, and city branding, the Advertising and Visual Communication program, led by Kevin, opened a new field to explore: "Prototyping for Designers", using Figma to make app design
Creative visions of Chinese-German students

"The design is an app for message interaction, with a function between messaging and WeChat, for delivering more formal invitations. So a black and white tone was used, with the whale symbolizing the delivery of important information in the online world. The semi-displayed white font and simple page hopefully will attract users to join and improve the quality of use."

Visual Communication 182 Jiang Wei group
"The inspiration for this work came from the app of some gourmet restaurants with the theme of coffee. Some gourmet stores need to download the app for membership registration, so based on this idea this work was born
