Challenges we ran into
Challenges Faced During the Design of local.live
1. Time Pressure and Extended Work Hours
We worked for 36 straight hours, which created physical and mental fatigue, making it harder to maintain focus and productivity as the hackathon progressed.
2. Complex Design Requirements
The design we envisioned for the app was intricate and required significant attention to detail. This added complexity made the design process take longer than anticipated.
3. Logo and Color Theme Selection
We spent a lot of time brainstorming and designing the logo, as well as choosing the right color theme for the app. This process involved multiple iterations to ensure the design reflected the app’s brand and purpose.
4. Prototyping Issues
We faced difficulties in the prototyping phase of the app. Aligning all the interactive elements and ensuring smooth transitions between screens took longer than expected, causing delays in the overall design process.
5. Balancing Design and Functionality
We had to find a balance between creating a visually appealing design and ensuring the app remained functional and user-friendly. The complexity of the design sometimes interfered with prototyping and usability considerations.
