Eclose:
Out of the Cocoon

App | UI/UX | Type

This is a mobile application interface design that I did at CalArts. The idea behind this app is to break through the information cocoon that the media has us trapped in. In this app, users can browse through different perspectives written by different news platforms in different countries, all covering the same event. They can collect news items or compare differing ideas that they think are important. Users start in the app as a caterpillar.  After choosing the event they want to learn about, users turn into a cocoon. By reading more and more pieces on the event, users are able to get out of the cocoon and turn into a butterfly. Users’ reading statuses are also shown in the comments/chat part of the app.
