Introduction
Throughout the entire course we had to choose a project for us to work on throughout the semester and I chose to work on improving the UI/UX design of a sports rehab app called Sports Injury Rehabilitation App which is created by a private company called Sportsinjuryclinic.
Creative Brief
The Sportsinjuryclinic is a private company that was established in 2001 in UK that created the app called Sports Injury Rehabilitation App.
My goal for this project to make the app a lot simpler, trustworthy where it gives accurate scientific information, demonstrate how to videos on how to do some of the rehab exercises or the basic exercise for the sport they play and to keep track of their health too. Which by doing this will encourage others to use the app and to evoke a positive and energetic feeling.

Challenges or Solutions
Throughout this project I have faced many challenges when working on improving the UI/UX design of the Sport Injury Rehabilitation app. I faced challenges where I had a difficult time with making the AR to work as well as to have it appear on the app by using an image, but where I found a solution where I created a link as a backup for it to see the exercise. I also had a difficult time to make the animation of the app to work properly, but what I did to solve that is by having a lot of animations that are the same to make it easier for me instead of creating a new animation for the parts in the project.
Conclusion
To conclude, throughout the assignment it was very interesting to learn and to help expand my creativity which made me think outside of the bubble sometimes when improving this app and to make it easier to use the app too.
Throughout this assignment for my Major Studio Project class, I had to decide what I'm going to be working on for a project for my class and after doing some research I decided to improve the Sports Injury Rehabilitation app that is created by a private company called Sportsinjuryclinic which the company was established in UK in 2001. I improved the app by creating it through Adobe XD. I made it where the app is simpler to use, easy to navigate, where there is an option that you don't have to sign up to use the app, you can earn points if you decide to create an account, you can track your health status while doing the rehab exercises and other health status too which is beneficial. The improvements I made also evoke a friendly, warm, confident, trustworthy, positive and confident mood where it encourages people to use the app too.
