22Tango Gaming App

Overview
Class project for Interface Design to create an app proof-of-concept that solved a personal problem in our life using jQuery mobile. In addition, a website "brag points" landing page was required. An extremely in-depth app analysis of 2 different apps was required before attempting to design the app (I've omitted the analysis here as it is ~60 pages long), as well as a story being written as "a day in the life" of the end user and their problem. 

What is "22Tango"?
The app itself is a gaming service aggregator that encourages cooperative gameplay. The name is taken from the saying "it takes two to tango" as well as "tango down" (military phrase for "enemy down") which is somewhat prominent in games/gamer speak.

App Benefits
See comprehensive information and message your friends on all gaming services, all at once. Buddy Up! suggestions and gameplay tracking makes deciding what and who to play with effortless, whether it’s friends your best friends or any players compatible to play. Contact sync allows for multiple avenues of communication, whether it’s chatting, texting or calling, as well as modifiable contact info and a best friends list.

Audience/Purpose
Primary focus include young adults 14 to 35. Middle class and higher ($35,000 and up). Anyone that owns a gaming platform that plays games and needs a better way to stay social with their gaming.
App Icon Design
The "t" in "tango" is two 2's reflected/combined into each other. The geometric shapes are reminiscent of controller buttons
