At this stage, together with the business analyst, we have designed the information architecture of the application:
Visual design
The designer made mood boards based on the requirements and desires.
The task was to use natural materials in the design from which the runes were created in ancient times (wood, stone, and animal fur for the background). 6 color options were offered, of which we settled on light and dark themes.
Conceptual design
For the final choice of the color scheme, 2 application concepts were developed. A dark theme was chosen from them. The next step was:

During the layout, front-end developers needed to adapt the design to the small screen sizes of iOS and Android.
We came to the correct design of the application through active communication.

Conceptual design
For the final choice of the color scheme, 2 application concepts were developed. A dark theme was chosen from them. The next step was:
- Development of a clickable Hi-Fi prototype based on a dark theme,
- We tested a prototype with real users and got feedback (Customer Development). These feedback allows us to improve the design and make changes to existing controversial issues.
Develop
At this stage of work on the project:
- Developed a logo in the form of a rune stave,
- Created final mockups of the application for IOS and Android,
- Developed the design system,
- Drawn 43 runes that differ from each other in shape and texture
- Designed the pictures of runes into sprites, for ease of use by developers.
