| DESIGN NAME: Heavenly Creation PRIMARY FUNCTION: E-Book INSPIRATION: I am interested in traditional Chinese culture and life styles. When I first read the original book of Heavenly Creation I could not understand anything. Because it was written by ancient Chinese and I had to find the translated Simplified Chinese one to read. I thought that as a designer why I can not make it much more simpler for ordinary people, like me, to read it and promote the book. I converted these text based content into beautiful visual designs, animations and interactive functions. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Reading ancient book is challenge for ordinary people nowadays. We transformed the traditional ancient text based content into a illustrated, animated, and interactive app. We designed the attractive visual images and characters to draw user's attention then we developed interesting interactive functions to give users an exploring experience. They can explore and learn info via they are playing. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: At the start page press the book to get to the first chapter. Sweep from right to left to change chapters. Chapter rice, long press to get magnifier. Tap different characters to see animations. Chapter water conservancy, till the phone up and down to control the flow speed. Chapter waving, tap 3D button to see 3D waving machine. Left bottom buttons shows text content, chapters, and back to main page. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in October 2013 and finished in December 2013. The first version was launched in December 2013 at Samsung Store in China. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The method I use to develop this E-book was: 1: Sketch out the structure of the book. 2: Sketch out the interactive functions. 3: paint the story board for development. 4: Paint the background image and characters, figures in detail. 5: Develop the program environment. 6: Test the E-book and find out bugs. 7: Modify this app. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: This E-book was developed for Android system. The Minimum Requirement for mobile devices: Resolution: 720 x 1280 pixels, CPU: 1.2GH or higher, OS: Android 4.1 or higher, 1GB RAM or higher. TAGS: Ebook, Interactive, Experience, Illustration RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research method we used was interview. By interviewing a lot of mobile devices users, we understood how did they use it and the interaction they wanted in an Ebook. Also we studied how visual matters and little animations can draw people's attention and what impact they can create. How visual factors can navigate user to go thought the whole chapters. All researches helped us to create a fun, interactive and meaningful learning experience for ordinary people. CHALLENGE: The hardest part was to combine the art, design and technology together. And also it is really hard to pair the E-book for so many different screen resolutions and different version of operation systems. Moreover we have to transform the very difficult reading content into a beautiful visual designs and playful interactive experience.
