GhostShell VPN Branding & App UX/UI Design — Maxim Nekhoda

Project Scope – Part 1

Develop branding for a VPN company which communicates themes of user anonymity and privacy. The logo must have a landscape aspect ratio and incorporate graphics which can be isolated and used as effective favicons and avatars. The logo should be effective on both light and dark backgrounds.

Project Scope – Part 2

Assist with development of user flow maps and UX design. Generate UI wireframe concepts based on UX guidelines to provide highly adaptable, intuitive interfaces for prospective users. Special attention should be given to VPN connection screens. The design should be minimal and straight forward to maximize user friendliness.

Project Scope – Part 3

Create high-fidelity prototypes based on the approved wireframes. The prototype should clearly demonstrate projected user interactions, including error states. The design must be developer-friendly, with a limited number of visual styles used throughout the key screens.

The Inspiration

The visual design of this project drew inspiration from the classics Pac-Man arcade game. This decision was made to help tie the Ghost Shell VPN brand with an established, trusted symbol, and to create unconscious association with something playful, nostalgic and fun. The dark color scheme was used to underline themes of anonymity and privacy.
