Reflections on Project 1: Redesigning Mission to Psyche App

Redesigning Mission to Psyche App

Tori Covell

November 17, 2021

Major: Graphic Design

Genre/Medium: UX/UI and Figma

About the work: The Psyche mission app was already created by a group of Seniors at Arizona State University for their capstone project. I decided to redesign the app because it is extremely important to have information communicated clearly and be easy to use. I conducted a survey and asked people to download the current app and give me feedback what they wished to see more of and what improvements were needed. Based on those surveyed, I was able to create an up-to-date version of this app that was easier to navigate and anyone could use. I noticed in the current app it was missing all of the incredible information that the Psyche mission website provided, or it was only providing links to the website. So, I decided to replace the links to the website and include as much information as I could directly into the app, making it more compatible and equal to the website. Read more…

Reflections on Project 2: Journey to Psyche

Journey to Psyche

Major: Graphic Design

Genre/Medium: InDesign, Procreate, Fliphtml5

About the work: I decided to create a book about the mission to Psyche. Through this journey, the book will teach children the hypotheses on how Psyche was formed, the spacecraft, and all the science! I was inspired by my little sister, as she loves to read, to learn new things, and to talk about them! I thought that as a current intern, I wanted to grab the opportunity to create books for children, so they can learn all about Psyche in a short/summarized version. A lot of the information is from psyche.asu.edu! I also used mission artwork and tried to sketch it in a children-friendly way. I used InDesign and Procreate to create this project. I created different layouts and designs to make it fun to look through.

Journey to Psyche Rings

Major: Graphic Design

Genre/Medium: Polymer Clay

About the work: As a Graphic Designer, I mostly work in the digital realm. So for this project I wanted to challenge myself and work with a hands on project such as using polymer clays! There are different ways to work with polymer clay but I wanted to create something that was more trendy and unique that is related to “Journey to Psyche!” I decided to create six different themes with a total of 18 rings. I chose 18 because Psyche was discovered in 1852.

Reflections on Project 4: mission to psyche timeline

Mission to Psyche Timeline

Tori Covell

May 23, 2022

Major: Graphic Design

Genre/Medium: Adobe Illustrator

About the work: I decided to create a timeline of Mission to Psyche. This timeline is found through psyche.asu.edu and Mission to Psyche mobile app. I converted it from digital into print media, as if this were posted throughout a science museum where young adults can look through the timeline of the journey of Mission to Psyche. Through this journey, the timeline will talk about how the mission was first started by proposing the idea and selected by NASA. It will also talk about the process of creating the Psyche spacecraft and the end goal of this mission.
