This project is an app design for an oceanography educational app. The target audience for this app is young children, however its design and features are meant to be accessible and engaging for anyone who has an interest in aquatic ecosystems. The purpose of this project was to design an app that was not only engaging and fun to encourage people to seek knowledge and interact with their surrounding environments, but it is also meant to be easy to use and accessible for people of all ages. It has many educational features including games, diagrams, puzzles, articles as well as identification software and a search engine. Its purpose is to encourage people to learn more about aquatic ecosystems and their importance, as well as how to care for and protect them.
My role in this project was UI designer. I sketched out wireframes, created an aesthetic color palette and began to build what the app would look like. I created high-fidelity prototypes of many of the main pages as well as a few of the special features, such as the search and identification pages. I also included the settings page as well.
The challenge with this project was designing something that looked professional but was still engaging and appealing to children. I also wanted to include a lot of information while making sure the app was still suitable and easy to use for young chilren without being to distracting, confusing, or overwhelming.
The purpose of this project was to create a fun and engaging way to encourage children to learn more about the importance of aquatic ecosystems. One goal of this project was to educate young peope (primarily children) about aquatic ecosystems. Some other goals of this project were to encourage children to learn and interact with their environment and to educate people on the importance of aquatic ecosystems and how to protect an preserve them.
