Personal advertiser：
Based on previous first-stage research, we found that Personal advertising has a huge market in the area. So we created a function that allows people to post their own ads, promote their business, or buy and sell their own personal belongings on the app.
My responsibilities:

1. User Flow Diagram
Based on previous first-stage research and discussion with the team, I built a user flow diagrams to identify the structure of this app and tried to visualize the complexity of the task.

To give personality to the app, I also Designed custom icons that reflected the fun, sociable and unique side of Freshook, with simple shapes and yellow color.

Make it clear: replace icons with labels, increase readability by increasing font size and color contrast.
Follow design pattern for them: Learn their behaviors and understand the design constraints for them.
