Interaction Design & UI/UX: Kickstagram, an Instagram Marketing Tool
Interaction Design & UI/UX: Kickstagram, an Instagram Marketing Tool
Let’s take a look at this interaction design & UI/UX project from the folks over Bachoo Design Studio. Their project is called: Kickstagram, an Instagram Marketing Tool. We’ve seen many Instagram tools out there but a lot of them lack features that will actually make us use it even more. If you remove the UI aspect from Kickstagram that is simple and clean. I liked the features that complement the application as well like Drafting & Posting and especially the Drag & Drop Scheduling is a neat idea.
Bachoo Design Studio is a design team located in Kyiv, Ukraine. They would mainly work into web design, graphic design, UI/UX and more. You should definitely follow their work on Behance.

Before augmented reality becomes the next big thing, here’s what needs to happen
Today’s augmented reality is usually confined to smartphone screens, and even when available with a headset, users have few options for interacting with both the real and the virtual. Gesture controls could solve that problem, and lift AR’s biggest barrier.

Black & White Photography: Switch House, Tate Modern Extension
Black & White Photography: Switch House, Tate Modern Extension
I come to appreciate those who only take Black & White Photography. In my opinion, it’s a hard style of photography to tackle especially when it comes to the colour, contrast and creative direction. Even though there’s a play with the shadows but it’s still pretty interesting. I took the liberty of featuring the work of Bimal Tailor and his series entitled Switch House, Tate Modern Extension.
This is a photo series by Bimal Tailor is a creative photographer based in London, UK. We have featured his work before on ABDZ. You should definitely follow his Instagram.

Concert.ua IOS App UI Design
Concert.ua IOS App UI Design
Concert.ua IOS App is a concept UI design project created and shared by Iana K and MEAT Studies on their Behance pages. The best thing for me with the new trend of UI design for mobile is the level maturity that the design is getting. We had phases full of textures and faux 3D, then we went to the super thin or light fonts and now we finally are getting to a point that is simpler. Bold when it needs to be and with an much more clear structure and contrast in typography. The new iOS 11 is a great example with big and bold titles. This project bring some of that, check it out.
Concert.ua is a concept of a ticket selling app with lightning-speed purchases and effortless interface.
