Julia Krenn won a Red Dot Design Award 2020 for her Bachelor’s thesis "Designing mobile systems. Concept development of a mobile application taking a fitness app as an example".

Digitization and flexibility are increasingly finding their way into our daily lives. We have countless technical resources that help us in our planning. Why not use the same developments in sports?

This bachelor’s thesis deals with the ever-increasing digitization of our everyday life and shows that the advantages of digital applications can also be applied to sports activities. It focuses on the analysis of economic conditions, the creation of the structural and technical concept as well as the visual design of the mobile application. What is demanded by potential customers? Which requirements does the software need to fulfill? And what can an easy-to-use user interface design look like? To answer these questions, methods of field and desk research were used and information needs were analyzed. Finally, the results were implemented in the creation of the technical as well as the design concept.
