Zixuan (Dorothy) Zhou, Cosmic Hydration – A Redesign Journey

The theme of "Cosmic Adventure" transforms daily water tracking into an engaging journey of space exploration. Bright colours and playful space elements—rockets, planets, and suns—are used to enhance visual appeal and stimulate curiosity. Icons, fonts, and typography are carefully chosen to align with the theme, while a dark background reinforces the space atmosphere. Simple progress bars and charts provide intuitive data visualisation, echoing the space motif and adding fun interactivity. This consistent design approach creates a cohesive and immersive user experience that encourages ongoing engagement.

Zixuan (Dorothy) Zhou, Daily Bloom – My Personal Dashboard

Designing this personal dashboard offers a unique and engaging way to manage and monitor my daily life. It displays essential information such as task deadlines, study progress, schedule, screen time, steps, mood, time planning, and sleep tracking—helping me maintain efficiency and balance. The nostalgic retro style, featuring vintage yellow, brown, and blue tones, adds personality and visual charm. With playful and personalized elements, the dashboard delivers a relaxing and enjoyable user experience while enhancing time management and supporting a steady, healthy study-life rhythm.
