Arctic Explorers
This project focused on creating an interactive exhibit for kids and families. The purpose of Arctic explorers was to bring the extreme habitat of the Arctic to life without having to experience the frigid temperatures and to learn about what this environment has to offer.
From the deep sea to the tip of a glacier, visitors are able to interact and play with the exhibit from start to finish.
Programs used
Figma: Used to create high and low-fidelity mockups of the Arctic Explorers app and website. Gathered assets from the Figma community to enhance the usability of the platform.
Ps: Used to create wayfinding mockups for museum exhibit building and editing/cutting out images for the header of the website.
Canva: Used to create AI images, wayfinding mockups, moodboards, and edit image assets.
ChatGPT: Used to create images and simplify my museum concept
Gemini: Used to create images and help in the creation of my app concept ideation.
Design Process
App Sketches and Low-Fidelity Wireframes
The web and mobile design started with the bare bones of hand sketching what I wanted each platform to look like. Here you can see my hand-drawn wireframes for my exhibit app. The app is directly connected to the echbit, which the user will interact with using the app to play games on their mobile device.
Website Sketches and Low-Fidelity Wireframes
Here you can see that to begin the web design, I started off with hand sketching each page for my website idea. I began with the main page with the hero image, with boxes where images would be placed.
I then draw out the second page of the website, which is where the visitor would get more in-depth information about the exhibit. After this, I then created my ticketing page to showcase the usability of getting an actual ticket to Arctic Explorers.
