Branding, Sketches, Wireframes, Mockups, Prototyping, Front-end Development
Discovery, Sketches & Concepting
Prior to starting development, I did some user research from parents to gauge marketability, brand attractiveness and pain points.
Branding
We came up with a brand identity that would be easily recognizable, playful, not too childish and looked professional. The idea behind it is that 3 friends, Tomo a little boy dress up as a dog, his best friends Turtle, an endangered species and Ravy, the traveller “talking” tree and expert botanist. Together they take our customers around the world and beyond, to find out more about some causes and our environment.
Visual Designs
I created the visual design of the website, we wanted some playful, not kidish and looked professional.
