Scope: Mobile Prototyping

Scope

March 2018
Mobile prototyping
Scope was designed during the 2018 StarterHacks hackathon. The concept of Scope is to create an app that help people find their skin tones and undertones. By calibrating your phone on different parts of your face, the camera can use the Pantone colour IQ guide to find your skin tone. Using our database, the app will suggest both high end and drugstore foundations to match your skin.

Problem

When brainstorming pain points that we face everyday, we found our common problem of not being able to find our true skin tone. This is especially a problem as we are both students, unable to always buy $60 foundation to properly match the skin. With this in mind, we created Scope to best match people's skin tone and undertone similar to how it is done at Sephora. With seasonal changes, skin also changes so our app would always be able to help out. By finding out undertone, one can also pair jewelry, clothes, and even hair colour.

Process

With only 24 hours to complete our prototype, our team started off with ideation and research into it. This was followed by sketches on paper to wireframe our application. With a quick testing done by some friends, we started to draw screens on Photoshop. This was followed by making GIFS also on Photoshop to add some motion to Scope and make it more interactive. Using InVision, we made a high fidelity application to showcase for Starterhacks 2018.
