OnePlace
Joint event photo album app, that lets you see your event in a different way by sharing albums with the participants who attended.
Overview
Let's imagine...
It was a happy occasion for you. Those closest to you documented the most exciting moments. And then, photos are sent to you via WhatsApp, emails, Instagram or Facebook and you want them to all be in one place so that they will always be remembered.

"... But to this day I haven't looked at them because they are not arranged in a convenient and accessible way"
Market research
Social networks such as "Facebook", "Instagram", "Pinterest" and "VSCO" don't meet the need for event albums.
​"Event Album" is a website designed for a live gallery during an event.
"Lapse" and "Popporazi" are social networks for sharing photos, but with a gimmick.
​"Photocircle" and "Family Album" are meant to keep the family updated through photos.
​"Share your photo" and "Ceremony" meet the needs, but don't engage users enough.

Information architecture
After identifying the need and the problems, I created an information architecture to understand how the app would best be structured with all the features it should have, and what is the best place for each of them
The challenge
Creating a photo gallery is a challenge. The goal was to organize the gallery and make it easy to search and navigate. However, In order to avoid clutter, I simplified. Therefore, my screens went through several processes.
Homepage Designed as a news feed.
After a lot of changing with adding and reducing of information, a clear hierarchy was created
In the main gallery, During the process the information was
reduced, and moved into a filter icon
Filter:
