The Brightkite service enables users to keep up with friends, meet new people, and discover new places while on the go.

Visuals

• The visual design is colourful, high contrast yet does not overpower the content.
• A memorable collection of icons, characters, and graphical elements are used throughout the application and follow the patterns established within the Brightkite desktop service.
• Fonts are large, easy to read and the variation in colour and weight assist in defining headers and content groupings.

Interaction

• Buttons and controls are large and well optimised for touch interactions.
• The application uses a familiar vertical list view combined with tabs to filter results.
• Many sections feature bespoke layouts, reminiscent of the Brightkite desktop service, and designed to best present the visuals and information at hand.
• A persistent navigation cluster provides access to the application’s top-level categories.

Overall

• Registration is quick and can be accomplished directly within the mobile application.
• The Brightkite application is seamlessly integrated with common behaviours from the desktop service.
