PROJECT OVERVIEW
Have you ever felt like your day-to day has become stale,
or that you haven't progressed? Sometimes it's important to take a step back and see everything you have completed. Colour Your World offers a visualization of your entries to remind you of the visual highlights of your days, as well as accompanying journal entries.
Colour Your World offers a tranquil, introspective journey designed to reconnect you with your inner self. The experience commences as users select a central theme to concentrate on throughout the activity. In alignment with the chosen theme, personalized journal prompts are provided for users to engage with. Upon completing the prompt, users are granted the opportunity to add images to a portion of their virtual timeline.

Why desktop?
While mobile devices have become the go-to platform for personal applications, I developed this application during my student days, a period when I predominantly used my computer.
The rationale for designing a desktop application was twofold: to alleviate the eye strain associated with prolonged phone use and to create a calming, distraction-free space separate from my intense computer-based work.
This application, Colour Your World, is tailored for users who spend significant time on their computers, whether for work or academic pursuits. It offers a convenient alternative, enabling them to seamlessly switch tabs to engage in a soothing, reflective activity, without the need to shift devices.
