This project was developed over a three-week period for my Mobile App Design class, with the goal of reimagining the Operating System camera app experience. The key challenge was to maintain all core camera functions (photo, video, filters, grid, live photos)while completely avoiding the use of traditional button designs. This constraint encouraged innovative thinking around gesture-based controls, contextual interactions, and screen-wide touch zones.
I began the design process by identifying the essential tasks and interactions users expect from a native iOS camera app—capturing photos and videos, switching modes, applying filters, and accessing features like the grid and live photos. With the added challenge of eliminating traditional buttons, I focused on creating a gesture-first experience that prioritized fluidity and minimalism.
