Everyone's hometown has that one thing that makes it extra special, besides having the best pizza and hosting yourself, of course. Mine has some destination ghost hunting and weird history with sharks.
I wanted to cater the app to a variety of ages, so I had to keep the design simple for children, but avoid any condescending tone. This project helped me learn how to properly arrange information for effective visual hierarchy.
This project required extra attention to the research phase. Not only did I want to give accurate historic facts, but also have an intuitive walking app.
The final product includes a variety of prototyped features including adjustable starting and ending points, an interactive slider for distance, and customizable checkpoints.
