In my final project, the design style is more and more simplified and emphasizing in development. All I want to create is an environment which makes users easy to use and clear to know how those functions work. This project comprises three parts:
Modern:
Because my project is about HK and will include various HK cultures, I choose to make it modern. I uses 3D map to extend the visual space and includes additions to complement the buttons of interactive animation. I will try to make several layers to create the visual effect. However, the sizable interface also includes a joint style of the old and the new, but it won't miss the modern rhythm that the image is provided by HK.
Simple:
This project is not merely for knowledge and information but is a tour guild. Every detail has to describe very clearly. To keep it simple I think that is the best way for users to follow the directions. I won't make the layout which has sub menu to click. I will provide a search function on the top and use simple symbol and color to represent the buttons. Using tricky shapes creates the balance of the layouts. I use red, white blue as my main background which is based on the idea where I come from. A simple layout composed of these three colors which arrange by vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines to create a perspective of the scene.
Clean:
Because this project includes many different media in it, every function must be clear to recognize that they are clickable. So I want my background to look very clean, the users won't lose their focal point. That's why I choose pure white as my background color and every layout uses those three colors to decorate it. Combined with 3D map, images and videos, I would like to convince users to move into the digital age. Because my background is very simple; I will try to make the images and videos brighter and more colorful.
