Daily UI #006 | A Social Profile

This was a frustrating design task! Out of all the DailyUI prompts so far, this one has taken the longest. I designed and redesigned the prompt so many times and nothing felt right. Perhaps I was overthinking the design, and there's almost certainly a level of complexity to social media that makes things complicated. But I finished!

For this prompt I created a scaled-down social media app called Waves. Displayed on the phone (left) is the top of a user's social profile. I love good visuals so I went with a large profile image combined with your usual info and social features (follow, message). Added in a space for a quote or chunk of text à la AIM away messages. The rest of the profile depends on the user's posts (right). Fun visual features include glass effect styling and a new post flywheel, allowing users to choose post type from the jump.

I've included some of my previous iterations below. All I can say is I'm very excited to be done with this prompt and onto the next :)

Software Used:

Figma, Adobe Photoshop
