SocioScore

Fictional Figma Mockup

Overview

The goal of this project was to create an interactive design that fits into a social framework of an alternative future where over-policing has run rampant.

Approach

I imagine in this society there is an overarching belief that citizens are being watched all the time, by either Artificial Intelligence or other people. Citizens are incentivized to report the actions of others as they receive a social score increase. Their social score then determines their social tier, which entails the extent of social privileges they have access to in society. This includes access to different levels of education, healthcare, social outings and jobs available.

Although the idea of a "social credit system" is dystopian, I aimed to design this mobile app to feel deceptively ordinary and familiar. Its interface mirrors the clean, user-friendly aesthetics of real-world apps, highlighting how such control could easily be normalized.
