The Lad Capsule

  • Seb Faull
The Lad Capsule is an IOS Geo-Location App that I designed and developed from the ground up, and have a working prototype. The Lad Capsule serves as a digital time capsule, which saves and locks away entertaining memoirs/testimonies for as long as a user wishes. Before linking the capsule to a Geo-Location they must first set a time and date for that capsule before it can be accessed and updated again. By linking a capsule to a Geo-Location it forces the users to relive moments with their friends, essentially going back in time, with the app updating itself and saving the history of the experiences. Along with the app itself I created a 20 page dossier documenting the design and development process of the app, including user personas as well (available for download here). I used Adobe Illustrator to design the bulk of the graphics for the app, and Photoshop for mockups and accompanying graphics. The app was coded in X-Code in Apple's Swift programming language. This quickly became my favourite programming language, though it was challenging at first.
