MFA Graduate Research Project | Ilze Spilde, Pocket Bucket App<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2666″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A former art educator, Ilze pursued her MFA in Communication Design in order to gain the knowledge, skillset, and preparation necessary to successfully switch careers from education to design. Her particular design interests include interactive design and UX\/UI, but she welcomes the challenges of all areas of design. When not designing, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, riding her motorcycle, and checking items off her bucket list.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2679″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text]To some, the idea of a bucket list might sound like an inventory of \u201cmaybe someday\u201ds that live in a corner of your brain somewhere, but rarely get much attention. After all, most days involve more mundane thoughts about work deadlines or what to cook for dinner that evening. But I\u2019ve always had a healthy respect for my folded, yellowed bucket list. When I transfer those goals from my head to paper, I\u2019m one step closer to achieving that goal \u2013 to traveling to Latvia, or to trying that new restaurant. And although work and even cooking meals are important and very necessary strands of one\u2019s life, it\u2019s the addition of achieving one\u2019s own recreational goals that rounds out my personal view of fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Pocket Bucket is a bucket list app that allows users to create lists and sublists, add and check off goals, explore new goal ideas, follow friends, add photos, and more. My thesis project consists of the mobile app prototype, responsive promotional website, branding guide, and promotional video behind Pocket Bucket.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”site-inner-small”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
