The LWDS Project
For this project I was asked to explore three possibilities and narrowed it to one.
The PROBLEM
Weddings can be very stressful when it comes to planning, especially when the bride-to-be is finding the perfect wedding dress.
​
Finding the wedding dress of your dreams shouldn't be an added stress to all that you have to do.
The Lwds Creative brief
Learn more about my Less Wedding Dress Stress Project through this creative brief, starting with the five principles of the app.
The 5 principles
Effortless
When it comes to finding a dress it must be fast and easily accessible for the user to help ease the user's stress of finding a wedding dress.
A user can easily take a photo and the app is capable of scanning the photo as it educates about dresses that flatter body type alone.
Movement
This app must provide visual cues and emphasis that is easily communicated to the user. This app will help users navigate through the app with ease decreasing the overwhelming anxiety of finding a wedding dress.
Communication
This app will provide a platform to connect with others in sharing wedding dress inspiration, or directly contacting the wedding dress boutique/designer.
Variety
This app will provide a variety of dresses that will flatter the user's body type. This allows the user an unlimited amount of choices to choose from, at the convenience of their fingertips.
Provide context
This app will provide details of where to find their wedding dress, who to contact, and it's availability.
