Visual Communication Design, 2024

GOL is a system that allows users to track their long- and short-term goals in a personal quest log. By simplifying these goals into tangible and actionable steps, the project aims to help the target audience of intensive play gamers find a comfortable way of achieving their dreams.

The experience is enhanced through gamification, including an achievement system, collectable items, and customizable interface themes. Also offered is an AI mentor to help users navigate the app and provide tips on completing their goals, as well as printable workbooks for different quest sets to give users the option of a screenless experience.
