This project was made during a Hackathon challenge, where my team should create an app to try to make travel more accessible for everyone in one weekend. So we did a quiz game, that would reward the user with miles that they could use to buy plane tickets or accommodations.

Steps

Since we only had a weekend, we didn't have much time to do a deep research, so we did a desk research where we found out that:

  • Smiles is one of the most popular miles program in Brazil;
  • People use miles mainly to buy plane tickets;
  • Many people don't know how to get more advantage of miles.

Wireframes

Once we had an idea of what solution we would build, we created some simple wireframes on paper, to get the ideas flowing.

Then we decided which of them we would move to the high fidelity prototype.

We used the classic Smiles orange as the main color and we paired it with white for high contrast.

  • We used Figma for this project, here’s the prototype (in Portuguese) if you would like to navigate:

Conclusion

During this project, I had the help of my great friend Carolina Andrade Gomes. It was one of our very first designs and we were very happy with it. Unfortunately, we didn’t win, but it was a great experience anyways.
