In the New Technology course, we learned to create our own applications. Of course, we only made a prototype, we would use much more time for the whole application. We chose ideas, colors, designed our trademark, and so on.
Idea
We started by collecting ideas. Our original idea was a menstruation app, as we are in a group of girls ourselves and we found this appropriate and very topical in the women’s world. However, because we wanted to make the app suitable for both sexes, we abandoned the idea and started thinking in a different direction. Since we are in our fourth year, we are taking the Matura exam and because we live in the middle of an epidemic, the following idea was born: a mental health application. Next, we thought about what we would like our app to contain and decided we wanted to make an app that would contain goodnight stories, quiet music and sounds.
Application name
The word eunoia in Greek means health, a healthy mind, a healthy mental state. The name seemed appropriate to us, so we kept it.
Survey, person, infographic
We put together a survey in which we asked who would use this survey, their gender, age, and opinions about meditation applications. We analyzed the results and formulated them in the infographic. This was followed by a persona in which we determined our average user. At this point, we also designed our own trademark, which consists of the letter e for the application name.

In the case of the wired model, we gave a rough idea of what our application should look like, and after talking to the professor, we corrected our mistakes and drew a wired model for each page of our application.
Design and prototyping
We imported the wire model into Adobe XD, added colors, typography, icons and other graphic elements. In the end, we linked or prototyped the pages. So that the app looks like a real app, with scrolling screens.
