Artificial Design

"Artificial Design" was a course offered during the summer semester 2023 at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, taught by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Meier. The course challenged us to create a prototype for an app that leverages artificial intelligence to provide unique advantages beyond what existing apps on the market offer. This included integrating AI to solve real-world problems and bring meaningful benefits to users. For my final project, I developed a prototype of the app "Route Master AI", designed to revolutionize the cycling experience. Using artificial intelligence, the app generates personalized routes based on user preferences, fitness levels, and real-time conditions, such as traffic and weather. A key feature is its AI-powered voice assistant, which provides dynamic updates and recommendations during the ride. This project was a hands-on exploration of how AI can enhance everyday activities and create innovative, user-centric solutions.

Technologies Used

  • Figma: For prototyping and UI/UX design.
  • Premiere Pro: Used to create a professional promotional video for the app.

Challenges and Learnings

One of the most challenging aspects of this project was learning to work with Adobe Premiere Pro for the first time to create the app's promotional video. While it was exciting to experiment with video editing and storytelling, it was also a steep learning curve to achieve a polished result that effectively communicated the app's concept.

This project gave me valuable insights into the design process for AI-based applications, as well as a deeper appreciation for the power of storytelling in promoting innovative ideas. The skills I gained in design and video editing have been incredibly helpful for subsequent creative projects.
