  • Low Fidelity Wireframe

    To begin the design process, the team decided to start with a low-fidelity wireframe. They knew that this would allow them to focus on the basic structure of the app, without getting bogged down in details such as color schemes and typography.

    The team started by sketching out the app on paper, using simple lines and shapes to represent each element. They began with the home screen, which they wanted to be simple and inviting, with an image of Magtymguly and a clear call-to-action to start exploring the poetry.

    They sketched out different layouts for the poem pages, experimenting with font sizes and line spacing to find the optimal reading experience.

    Finally, after several days of sketching and refining, the team had a complete wireframe for the app.

  • Design System | Colors

    For a poetry app, the color palette must be carefully selected to create an atmosphere of warmth, depth, and richness. In this case, a brownish color palette, along with its tints and shades, would be an excellent choice.

    Palette consists of various shades and tints of brown, ranging from light beige to deep chocolate brown.

    These colors resemble old style of poetry. Back then people used to write with goose feathers and ink. And paper color was also a beige tint.

  • Design System | Typography

    How the font was chosen for the project.

    There were several facts to consider.

    First: Magtymguly is a classic of Turkmen literature of the 18th century. A gifted genius, whose work has remained for centuries. Therefore, the font must be classical and evoke an association with literature. Consequently, the font should be serif and have a resemblance to books on classical literature, but at the same time, it should be modern.

    Second: The font should be of high quality, licensed and free.

    Third: The app is in three languages. Which includes Latin alphabet: English and Turkmen and Cyrillic (Russian).

  • Design System | Icons

    I knew that in order to make their app stand out, I needed to pay attention to every detail, including the design of the icons.

    After many brainstorming sessions, I finally settled on a set of icons by Anron Kai. Icons are modern and minimalistic. The set is simple yet elegant, and icons perfectly captured the poetic essence of the app.

  • Pixel Perfect

    I'm UI Designer and precision is my passion.

    In the digital world, where users are accustomed to interacting with sleek and visually appealing interfaces, pixel-perfect design can make all the difference in attracting and retaining users.

    This level of attention to detail ensures that the design looks clean, professional, and consistent across all devices and screen sizes.

    I used 8 point grid.

  • Dark Mode 🌑

    Customer wanted to have a Dark Mode functionality in the app.

    My task was to have the same colors in both versions. So, I've done a color palette inversion.

    Customer liked ❤️ it.
