For the sign up layout I wanted to find a darker colour/background that would help make the existing brand colours really stand out while not obscuring any of the information on offer. I also wanted to use the logomark in some way and using the existing colours as stroke ended up framing a rejig of the Hey Chat logo really well.

My main goal for the dashboard/user layout was to present as much relevant information as possible without crowding the screen. Presenting the 4x most recent chats alongside recommended topics and trending topics, allows users to continue chatting about their current interests while having the option to explore others.
