Rainforest Exhibit

UI Design

About

This project is an online Amazon rainforest exhibit. I wanted it to give the feeling of being in a museum or a zoo exhibit without leaving your home. Children are the target user, but it can be enjoyed by all ages. It needed to be optimized for a standalone touchscreen kiosk at 1080×1920 pixels.

Process

I created personas for the people who I think would use this kiosk and made user flows for them. I sketched out my design for the user interface, then built the wireframes in Sketch. After making a prototype and testing it, I started building the website in WordPress.

I used Elementor to create a video and image based experience that was very close to what I designed in my final wireframes. The full screen videos draw the eye, and animated icons and sound effects make the user want to keep exploring. By using modals for text, the user can choose if they want to read more information or just enjoy the visual experience.
