| The development of information technology and networks has led to the integration of smart devices into people’s daily habits.The use of smart devices and APPs has made information gathering and communication more convenient and efficient.Due to factors such as a faster pace of life,increased workload,and increasingly tense interpersonal relationships,people generally experience greater stress and require an outlet for emotional release.APPs,as a convenient tool,can help people better manage their emotions,improve their quality of life,and promote psychological health.This article first explores the relevant theories that can guide the design of APP interfaces,identifies the elements of interface design,and based on emotion regulation theory and the theory of visual impact on emotions,concludes that breathing techniques and visual cues can help alleviate emotions,laying a feasible theoretical foundation for subsequent design practices.Secondly,through questionnaire surveys and personal interviews,the target users and their needs,as well as product features,are summarized.Next,the market environment and competitors of the mental health APP market in recent years are analyzed,the product positioning and information architecture are confirmed,and the product planning is analyzed.Finally,based on cognitive psychology theory and the format psychology theory,guided by emotion regulation and breathing techniques,a mobile APP called "Breathing" is designed,which focuses on emotional release and breathing techniques as the main functions.The main visual design and interface design process of the Breathing APP are explained,displaying the complete visual system from the sketch stage to the final design scheme.The Breathing APP targets the main demand for daily,lightweight relief of negative emotions,and uses dynamic graphics,color,and breathing training and emotional expression to regulate emotions.The overall visual style presents a soft and soothing feature,allowing the target group to obtain emotional relief and regulation while using the APP and meeting their needs.This article aims to explore the principles and methods of designing emotion regulation mobile APPs,providing reference for future emotion-related mobile APPs and functional mobile APPs with similar scientific knowledge backgrounds.It also aims to raise awareness of individuals and society about their own emotions and the importance of psychological health and emotional issues,thereby reducing the losses caused by negative emotions to society and individuals,and has important practical significance and social value. |
