The Postman App

The Postman App is a project where I worked in a team to create an updated concept for The Postman, a mail app that also doubled as a vendor/merchandising site.

Objectives: To continue development on the Postman mobile application by creating a chat feature between buyers and sellers, creating a rating system for sellers' reputations, and finally creating review badges for buyers and sellers.

Process:

• Learn about The Postman brand, mission, and vision to develop a visual brand identity including a revised logo design

• Redesign the look and feel of the company's marketplace mobile app launching later this year• Create a replicable design system for the mobile app that the computer science students can implement across the program

• Follow and encourage the Postman's Motto of “Keeping Communities Connected”

• Build to promote, connect, and support small, local businesses and communities.

About The Postman

The Postman is a mailbox rental and shipping center located in the Central District.
The company was founded in 2016 in memory of mail carrier Jacques Chappell. It is family owned and operated, who are proud to carry on a family tradition and serve the community.

Updating the Brand

One of our first steps was to refresh the brand identity and update it without changing too much. In this stage, we created different logos and color palettes based on the previous color palette used and recommendations from the community partners. 

Redesigning the App

The team that we had collaborated with had already created a user interface for the app. However, they weren't too familiar with design tools so they requested that we redesign the user interface using the updated brand elements.
