The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The diploma thesis focuses on the design and development of the user interface and user experience (UI and UX) for the BRMN mobile application, which is intended for bartenders to use in a real-world environment. The main objective of the project was to create a functional, clear and minimal digital product that enables quick access to key information needed when working behind the bar, without unnecessary visual or content elements. As part of the thesis, it was first necessary to develop a comprehensive corporate identity (CI) that defines the visual identity of the application. Despite the lack of prior experience with such projects and the tools used, the thesis demonstrates the ability to learn independently, research and solve problems. The BRMN project serves as a foundation for further development of knowledge in the field of UI and UX design and as a starting point for future digital projects.
Problem
The diploma thesis focuses on the design and development of the user interface and user experience (UI and UX) for the BRMN mobile application, which is intended for bartenders to use in a real-world environment. The main objective of the project was to create a functional, clear and minimal digital product that enables quick access to key information needed when working behind the bar, without unnecessary visual or content elements.
Solution and Method
As part of the thesis, it was first necessary to develop a comprehensive corporate identity (CI) that defines the visual identity of the application. This is based on a minimalist, elegant and professional approach that reflects the environment of modern cocktail bars and emphasises reliability, clarity and functionality. Particular emphasis was placed on the selection of the colour palette, typography and basic visual rules that ensure a consistent and user-friendly experience within the application.
The central part of the diploma thesis represents the design of the user experience and the structure of the application. The functionalities were designed with use during work in mind, where speed and simplicity are of key importance. The application is based on a simple navigation system that enables access to recipes, their details and the ability to save favourite recipes.
Special attention was paid to reducing the number of steps required to access information and to a clear content hierarchy. In the thesis, a working interactive prototype of the application was created, which simulates actual use without the need for programming support or a back-end system. The prototype enables the presentation of key functionalities, such as browsing recipes, detailed descriptions of cocktail preparation and marking favourite content.
Modern UX design methods were used, such as the use of components, variants and simulation of states within the prototype environment. The diploma thesis represents the author's first comprehensive project in the field of user interface and user experience design.
Results
Despite the lack of prior experience with such projects and the tools used, the thesis demonstrates the ability to learn independently, research and solve problems. The BRMN project serves as a foundation for further development of knowledge in the field of UI and UX design and as a starting point for future digital projects.
