golden coin
design challenge
April 2022
This project was created for us to find a solution to a problem. For me that problem was lack of financial literacy in college students. Based on the research I collected it was my goal to find a way to help college students more engaged and encouraged to get ahead of their finances so they can form good habits. I started with a research phase where I did research myself, interview students and professionals, as well as conducted a survey. Which all helped me land on the results of most college students know little to nothing about their finances. With the workbook students found it easier to be engaged and stay focused in what they were doing. This led me to the implementation phase. I went on to make a mockup of what the social media would look like. I created the workbook with helpful tips, budget maker, habit tracker, savings goal, and badges page to help keep users engaged. Finally to keep users to keep using our product I made a poster to help them track a savings goal for the whole year. I went for a fun and playful child-like design. This was to help take away the seriousness and pressure that can often be associated with the topic of finances.
