Featured Honours Project: BeWell Mental Wellbeing App by Jonathan Wood

BeWell is a mental well-being support and social app aimed at students.  Jonathan followed a User centred process, involving his target users throughout to ensure that the solution met their needs.  As well as a high-fidelity prototype suitable for user testing he created detailed brand guidelines and a design system to ensure consistency.

Featured Honours Project: Fufilment – A Virtual Reality Mindfulness Experience by Sarah Carswell

Sarah’s honours project built on an idea she had originally had during a year 3 module, to create a wellbeing app.  During the honours project she took the idea in a new direction, creating a Virtual Reality experience.  “Fufilment” is a relaxing space that users can investigate while undertaking mindfulness activities such as icing cakes and swimming.  Inspired by Studio Ghibli environments and colour palette, the space has an eclectic feel, which is further enhanced by clever lighting and sound design (and a few pet cats).

Sarah tested her project with users, who praised the look and feel of the project, giving her useful feedback to make navigating the space straightforward, as well as ideas for activities that could be developed in the future.
