Bar-Hop Design Concepts

Three distinct visual directions for a dark-mode nightlife app — built for one-handed use, high contrast, and instant trust in live crowd data.

Packed Lively Chill Dead No Signal LIVE = partner camera · Gray italic = BestTime estimate · Stale feed degrades to estimate

Each concept includes 4 interactive screens: Home, Bar Detail, Map View, and Cold-Open Teaser. List rows use chevrons (not play buttons) — live video is detail-only per trust model.

Concept 01

Neon Pulse

Bold, energetic, Citizen-meets-Untappd. Glowing status pins, sharp geometry, and electric green LIVE badges that demand attention on a dark sidewalk.

Concept 02

Midnight Glass

Premium frosted layers and soft ambient gradients. LIVE partner bars feel elevated — like peering through a window into the scene. Sophisticated without sacrificing legibility.

Sora + Fraunces Glassmorphism Refined & warm

Concept 03

Street Signal

Brutalist clarity for impaired vision and outdoor glare. Traffic-light semantics, oversized tap targets, monospace data. Zero decoration — maximum scan speed.
