SSP: HSBC Layout Experimentation

I decided to look at other app layouts for inspiration to help me create a simplistic and efficient layout for my concept. I sketches out many layouts by combining different aspects of the researched apps to create a hybrid design. Although at this time, there is no brand or layout consistency as I wanted to experiment with different possibilities and ways to display the pages. From here I will select which layouts I prefer most and begin creating a fixed layout which will carry the brand identity and allow the app to flow efficiently. I am interested in creating a social aspect to my concept which will allow others in a similar position to share their experiences with friends and family, or possibly other first time buyers while still keeping the users information such as finance and location, safe and secure.

The main features I am curious in designing are the in-app savings account for a mortgage in which the customer can deposit from other HSBC accounts to keep their savings separate from their everyday accounts. I am also very intrigued to research and conceptualise a way to easily view the progress of an outstanding mortgage application, modify or add other users to the application in which they can view, edit or deposit to the mortgage, these functions will be managed by the sole account holder of the mortgage. This concept functions to add family members or partners onto the mortgage application to proof-read, edit and contribute to the funding of a mortgage. Bringing the traditional idea of a mortgage and turning it digital is an exciting prospect and I am super excited to see its development over the next few weeks.
