The brief

The challenge

Nightlife apps were either cluttered listings or pretty brochures. People wanted to know what's on tonight near them, fast.

Our approach

What we designed

We began with wireframes for every screen and the user flow, then designed a moody purple brand with a short tour, music-interest picker, tonight's feed and a venue map.

Deliverables
  • Brand identity
  • 10 wireframes and user flow
  • 13 iOS screens
  • Event details and map
  • Profile and settings
