How We Addressed This Challenge

The biggest adversity that our team found during this time of pandemic was the fragility of population’s emotions in general, because of the sudden need for social distance. From reseachs, data and common experiences, we concluded that art, in its different ways, has as one of its fundamentals functions the union between people, establishing bonds and communication, essential benefits during this moment. in light of this situation, our group tried to create a connection between art, technology and pyschoemotional questions, per an app that might be capable of ease the loneliness sensation and social distance of users, since they will be able to visit artistic places, per through virtual insertions to these. Furthermore, the platform count with the sharing of different artist fields (music, dance, paint, dramatics, literature and cinema) of users, in order that these can share and learn about art. The program, still, make it possible a straightener relation with creator team's, with the intention of exchanging experiences and also suggesting changes to the application. The App also seeks to use common words, natural expressions of the Portuguese language, in order to convey maximum comfort and lightness to users, making them familiar with the program.

How We Developed This Project

For the purpose of create a biggest emotional and cultural support, our team proposed a creation of an app , which worked off-line as a way to compose the largest number of people. Besides that, the program brings in its development algorithms of optional location, with the aim of propose the users a bigger bond with the artistic places where they live, mostly because this time of social isolation and circulation restriction, when citizens can’t have access to cultural places in a present way.Also, we thought in add the creator’s profile , so that the users can met they better , understanding the purpose of the platform’s origin , sharing artistic experiences with themselves and with the authors. The app still would have the option of propagation of poetry,musics, plays and others arts, in order to create a bigger interaction between users.We wanted to use space agency data to show us isolation informations,which NASA uses to study how the isolation can change the health e individual production . Having that as base, we create a union between these data and Art, because the artistic forms always were the biggest refuge to individuals. The need to express our feelings it’s clear,but it’s not common, and, with our app, we’ll try to bring a hideaway to artists and lover’s art, carrying an quantitative and qualitative impact,which who install will have the reference that we had during this period  : valuing face-to-face connections. We used digital tools of desing , as Canva and Power Point, of reseach , as NASA official site,of documentation , as Word and Excel. Along the development of our work , we had some difficulties to choose which problem we wanted to solve, because select one of many was hard . Despite that, we thought that the emotional subject during the pandemic time was a number one priority to discuss , since mental heath it’s one of the most important things during this moment.

Data & Resources

WWW.NASA.GOV/social/isolation/in-context

NASA astronauts have been flying into space for over 50 years and for almost 20 years, crew members remain in space for months to live in space for months that live in the International Space Station, with only a few other people in about six years. Astronauts experience various aspects of social isolation and confinement during their missions. NASA also studies as isolation and lockdown can alter the health and individual performance and the astronaut team, besides testing strategies to mitigate any negative impacts. These isolation studies are conducted with astronauts in space, as well as analog facilities, like the Human Exploration Research Analog, the NEK facility in Moscow and field locations in Antarctica.

NASA is preparing for more ambitious missions that will take astronauts away from the Moon and Mars, which will also require longer missions. The isolation and lockdown experiments will only be enlarged during these missions when the delays in communication and distance from Earth are increasing. Communication during Artemis's missions to the Moon and human exploration to Mars will have to be different. Astronauts can objectively assess the effect of fatigue in performance with a five-minute autotograph.

All these methods and technologies will help us prepare for further and further exploration missions.

We used this data to analyze how NASA was studying how social isolation can alter the health and the individual performance of the human being.

W use that data to show the users of the app, how many people are being cured from the Covid-19 in the world.

Typography is one of the pillars of graphic design and it has an extreme importance, both for imaging and texts. The sources can completely change the message and how it's going to be passed to the public.

The printing of the source used in our project was thought of how the app brings greatness and freedom.

The forms that you embody in your projects become an intrinsic element in the message that will transmit to the company and general public clients. After understanding the psychology behind the forms of a logo, you'll be able to use that knowledge to create powerful marks for your clients.

The project logo, with strategically thought geometric forms, remind us of the sun, and the name of the app, which means light.

The search for the meaning of shapes, brought the idea of the two hexagons together, which form a circle that reminds empathy, emotional control and love. Triangles remind us of the strength and stability that we need at this moment of Pandemia. And the hexagons junction with the triangles, and the circle, bring the feeling sunny, making reference year-to-project.

Blue

The blue color is related to nobility and is used to transmit harmony, tranquility and serenity.

Yellow

Used to pass the sense of light and heat, yellow stimulates the reasoning and creativity. It can also be used to represent joy, optimism and youthful.

We did the search for colors that reminded us of good feelings. We found Yellow and Blue, which means what our app wants to show, creativity, optimism, harmony and tranquility.
