_Verif.AI: An Intro to UI/UX Design
Class‎ Project: FA/DESN 1011 M - Visual Interaction Design
Instructor: Katrina Lovrick
Year:‎ ‎2025
_The Brief

Our very first Visual Interaction Design project prompted us with this problem statement:

“How can we flag misinformation online better?”

‎ ‎




_Research

Current tools have strong points but major limitations

    Outdated or crowded UI
    Slow or manual verification processes
    Inconsistent transparency with sources
    Susceptibility to bias (i.e crowdsourced verification)  
    Cold, corporate, “manufactured” feeling


_Conclusion

I must create an app design that…

Has an intuitive and visually appealing interface to invite users to our platform
Incorporates a feature which allows users to receive instant, on-demand results for their queries
Is transparent with the sources it has utilized
Incorporates user feedback for better future results
Is consistent with real-world events and data

∴ I came up with the name “Verif.AI”, an AI-powered platform for verifying the authenticity of articles, claims and more.




                                                                           



_Wireframes V1

I began sketching out low fidelity wireframes on paper to get a quick feel for my ideas, reinforced by the research to allow it to satisfy all objectives. I wanted the user flow to be as follows:

Getting started / signing up Making a query or uploading a file to the chat bar Viewing a summarized report with visualized data Swiping up to view a detailed report







_Wireframes V2
I translated the wireframes digitally, coming up with a quick logo for the service (literally just something I found from Google’s “Material Symbols and Icons” lmfao) and then used Dennis Grauel’s “Schflooze” as the primary typeface. It is a modern sans-serif typeface which maintains an element of lighthearted playfulness through its subtle quirks in certain letterforms. This fights the over-seriousness present in competitors, whilst likely working well on top of a gradient backdrop; something that I am planning to do.






_Wireframes V3
I continued to refine the wireframes based on feedback gathered from my instructor, peers and errors that I picked up myself. Rather than completely relying on Schflooze as the independent typeface, I opted to only use it for headings, and to include a more simpler and familiar one for body copy. SF Pro, a neo-grotesque typeface designed by Apple, is their flagship typeface used on all default iOS applications. I felt that using it maintained a sense of security and trust for users as they made their queries to Verif.AI. I also incorporated more visually appealing graphs to use for widgets, which was a challenge, but helped me understand how difficult even the simplest appearing things may be to create.                                        







                                         


_Design
After the wireframes were finally approved, I was able to add colour to my design, which was incredibly refreshing after staring at grayscale for so long. I used a warm gradient comprised of red, purple, and white, generated using the “Gradient Morph” plugin on Figma. I reused this gradient in different orientations and angles across the screens for a consistent but fresh look. I made the text boxes glass, which would reduce eyestrain as it would soften the contrast against the background and reduce eyestrain by avoiding harsh brightness while maintaining clarity.


Typefaces: Schflooze, SF Pro
