Daily UI Challenge: 013

For this challenge we had to design a direct messaging app, profile, or chatbox. I had actually been working on a messaging app awhile back when I was in school and thought this would be the perfect time to use for this challenge.

The idea behind this application is that you'll be able to consolidate all your messaging apps into one application. This helps you see all your messages with a global view and to stay centralized in one app.

I wanted to be a little bit more experimental with the design of this application. I'm a big fan of material design and the concept behind how it behaves like paper being stacked on top of each other. I took that idea but approached it by having the user go through descending layers to get to the core of their original action which is to message someone. I focused more on using inner shadows to show the descending depth of layers.

Let me know what you think of this design concept, thanks!
