Homa is like Tinder, except that it helps users find their future accommodation. In addition, it is intended to make communication for property owners easier because only the owner can choose with which potential renters they want to initiate conversations.
The project was divided into three phases.
In the brainstorming phase, we came up with three app ideas. After a short discussion, we decided on the one that had the most potential.
As a result of the time constraints and the course’s objective, the focus was more on development than on design. Nevertheless, we made sure to design the most important screens for our idea before. Besides designing the high-fidelity wireframes, we also created a color scheme and an app logo.
The Homa app was developed with Ionic Framework using HTML5, CSS3, and AngularJS. We collaborated using GitHub.
The word "homa" is formed by combining the first two initials of the following two words: house and match.
The logo consists of two rounded shapes and a modern, yet at the same time, classical serif typography - just like there are multiple flats out there, modern and more traditional. We wanted our logo to convey this. Basically, the round shape in the front represents you, me, or anyone else needing a flat matched to them. The back shape represents a door to the new home. The two together represent that person entering a new home.
Our base color is made of a blue-green mixture. The reason behind this is that blue is associated with harmony and reliability, and green color connotates optimism and calmness. Just as our home should make us feel.
We then created its darker shade to achieve a good contrast with the white typography. As a complement to the cold color palette, we added a warm orange.
Additionally, we added neutral colors for the text. A lot of white space was used to avoid overpowering the user with colors.
The typeface we chose is Be Vietnam Pro, a sans-serif typeface with good readability.
