Master of Design 2022

Graduating Mid-Year Showcase

Yicheng Hong

Hi! I’m Harris! An interactive designer in Hangzhou, China. My story begins with visual communication design during my undergraduate study, when I fell in love with visual communication design, especially UI design and interaction design that I had been exposed to during my undergraduate study. When I used electronic products, I paid close attention to the UI and interaction of these products. I really want to use my knowledge of product interaction and UI to design new UI and interaction for real products to solve practical problems. So I went to Australia to do my masters in Design at Monash University, where I specialized in interaction design.

Yicheng Hong, Melbourne Music Festival

The Melbourne Music Festival APP is not only an APP for buying music festival tickets, but also an APP for synchronizing music festival songs, adding friends on site and booking events on site. Users can automatically sync songs performed by artists on stage live, so users can listen to them at home instead of searching for songs. In addition, users can view and book various events at the festival on the app, and add other people at the festival as friends.

Yicheng Hong, Sports App

The App is designed to help users who like to play competitive games but lack exercise. The app allows users to play sports while competing with friends. Because my target audience loves playing esports but doesn't exercise enough, I combined sports features with esports games. The app allows users to compete in sports with friends, with the winners earning points that can be redeemed for virtual rewards at the mall.

Yicheng Hong, Hangzhou Bus App

During the pandemic, people must use their phones to scan a QR code to prove their health and some personal information before taking a bus, and then switch to another QR code to pay the fare. As a result, a large number of passengers gather in front of the bus, which will affect traffic safety. Therefore, I want to improve the process of scanning and exchanging codes for passengers, so as to enhance passengers' ride experience. Therefore, I redesigned the Hangzhou Bus App and added the binding function of QR code on the original basis, so that passengers can scan the code to take a bus only with a QR code.

Yicheng Hong, Weather App

The App is aimed at children (7-12 years old) who live with their parents in different cities for a long time. Parents can choose one or several articles (about the weather) from the system every day, and then upload them to the app through their recording, so that their children can listen to these articles through the APP. I hope that in this way, children and parents can still maintain a good relationship, no matter where they live.
