Breaking News

Breaking News | Web Design & Development

Breaking News is a web based tool to encode and decode messages, its purpose is to ensure privacy by keeping the information hidden from anyone for whom is not intended, even those who can see the encrypted message.

In this project we used encryptation to transform the message into an unreadable form and decryptation in order to take the encrypted message back into some intelligible form.

The sender of the message needs to generate a key to encrypt the message before sending it. The receiver uses the key and reverse it in order to decrypt and find the hidden message.

My Role

Web Development, Visual Design, Interaction & Implementation, Ideation.

Project Time:

3 weeks

Teammate:

Alberto Guerra

We assign a number for each letter of the message and with a matrix we break it by swaping pairs of letters randomly.

Think Twice

We had to make sure to consider the spaces between words in order to generate a key that works to decrypt the encoded message.

Design Sprints

We had to effectively apply design sprints to create a seamlessly interaction and inform our process.

End to End

We were able to code and design the final project in a short period of time.

Bringing it all together

The final product is the result of collaborative work, where design, interaction and functionality were the main pillars. Go to the live website and decode a message here.
