I have no idea how to make this app more cute.

[red matrix]

I like doodle type stuff, or Korean/Chinese/Japanese cutesy looking cartoon designs.

I am thinking of plants and somehow incorporating books?? It's a digital reading platform.

Attached are some screenies from my app

and the rest are examples of what art styles I like.

Suggestions?

That's actually gives a good feeling of a well designed illustrated book!!

And I feel more attracted!! ... Every thing seems balanced and beautiful making the overall ui feel calmm

Amazing!! 😶

hi kyrstin, i see that you have made some changes in the design you showed previously, its better now but still do u notice that the home and settins icon that u have placed on top of the screen are not properly aligned and users generally prefer those icons at the bottom as its easy to yk press them.

and the settings word is really small, id u oberve other apps, it is generally large and bold

i would suggest u to go with this style , just change the colour palette

and also work on the alignment in the settings page, the text on buttons is not aligned properly

i also like this one, so maybe u could do some screens based on the themes like tragedy, romance, horror , or whatever the collection is, change the colours and the illustrations according to theme yk

You mean my plain app? The first two are mine with the dark green and cream color

The rest are inspiration photos where I wanna add some cuteness to the app 😭

[red matrix]

Thanks- it isn't done but I needed some thoughts on how to make it cute aesthetically.

The first two images are mine but the rest are inspiration of what I mean when I say I want a "cute" look

[dusty anvil]

you could create a mood board for what you consider cute, then start create a library of colour, fonts and components with the aesthetic you wanna.

[red matrix]

Yeah I need to look closer at specifics of what makes that stuff cute for me.

Maybe little icons. Idk.

I have an iPad so I need to try to doodle on procreate to make cute lil things

[dusty anvil]

Find one image and try to breakdown, for sure will be a combination of things but you can find a pattern

Icons, illustration, font, colour, stroke, rounded

[rugged lance]

Is this made with figma?

[dusty anvil]

any design software can do this, but I think is illustrator

[ember kestrel]

Yes but u can also draw in figma

[rugged lance]

I see, figma is so interesting but at a real job site, is figma the go-to app businesses are using?

for design roles

[ember kestrel]

Yes of course

Figma is officially used

In making ui designs

[dusty anvil]

from a product stander, yes and for marketing adobe

[ember kestrel]

@dusty anvil are u a ui ux designer ?

[dusty anvil]

product designer

[ember kestrel]

Ohhh okay im a student studying ui ux currently

[dusty anvil]

nice, good luck, if you need any advise feel free to ask

[ember kestrel]

Sure !

[red matrix]

Yes

[red matrix]

Figma

[red matrix]

Lolo I hate drawing in Figma

I like that I can use my apple pencil to comfortably draw

[ember kestrel]

Thats awesome

I used to draw with mouse

😑

[red matrix]

I mean that's impressive because it isn't easy drawing with a mouse!

[ember kestrel]

Yeah but im thinking to buy a drawing tab now

It takes so much time to draw with mouse

[red matrix]

I would, yes. It is crazy how much easier it is using a stylus over a mouse.

I use iPad but obviously there are plenty of other tablets you can draw with as well

[ember kestrel]

yess

[kindred shuttle]

... Ummm yeahh ... But I m compatible... But also rough illustrations nahi ban pate bas

[kindred shuttle]

Yeppp... I actually have tried... !! That ...and it's so good and easy to use a drawing tab. ....

[ember kestrel]

It reduces the time and effort significantly
