Mockups
The style and design of these mockups was done with the purpose of being carried on to the final product, this way the colour scheme and layout could be decided upon early so other issues could be attended to.
The initial colour scheme and logo design ties in with the name Hivemind. The word hive has a common association with Bees, which further correlates into the bright yellow colour used for the colour palette. On top of this the logo is another play on the word Hivemind, as there are yellow hexagons in a honeycomb-like pattern(hive) inside a human head(mind). In regards to the remainder of the colour scheme, a simple application formula was used with light colours such as white and greys used for the tiles and background.
The app layout itself is another simple alteration of the classic news app design, with a list of articles in the form of clickable tiles with a simple facebook login screen previous to that which also displays the logo.
