U Lite

A New app for better College life.

After living in college town for three years, using
many kinds of apps we have for college life, I found
none of them with multi-functions.
To make students’ life more convenient, U-Lite was
designed to help students to have a better  campus 
experience, by doing everything just in one APP.

Inspiration 

PROTOTYPE

This prototype is including the basic frames of “U-LITE”.

LOGIN PAGE

For login part, I used a simple design to show the main functions more clearly. Users can create a new account or log in using Facebook accounts.

SIX FUNCTIONS

01      Current Activities

​

02      Current Release Apartment

​

03      Map for School area and                      surroundings

​

04      Map for Finding friends

​

05      Academic- Register classes
 

06      Notebook

ACTIVITY

Usually, we need to sign leases one year ahead of time, but plans can change: study abroad, 
graduating in spring, a short-term lease, etc.. No 
current App addresses this. Through U-Lite, you 
can find long term or short term, and post personal
apartments subleasing information. You 
can also see the details of apartment’s you are
interested in, including AC, TV, Bathroom, and wifi.

APARTMENT

This is for students and faculties to look for current events in surroundings. Each event shows in postcard style frames with details including date and time, and details. Also, users can select the one they want to join and put them into “My activities”.

MAP

A new map for finding routes and friends. If you can’t find someone, or you are worried about where
he/she is, this map can help you. It can also be used in daily life by showing your friends real-time locations. It can also be used for everyday hangouts.

ACADEMIC

It includes three parts. 
1. Checking iclicker status, which is how many absences you have,
2. A notebook that records homework and reminders for every day.
3. Register classes.
As college students, we sometimes have difficulty registering courses. U-lite reminds you when any sections have open seats.

ORANGE BRUSH

Using orange brush for illumine in toolbar
when choosing different functions.
