WeatherEye mobile app

SCOPE

Design a mobile weather app prototype that gives users a better sense of locality. This is a personal project.

PROCESS

I researched the weather apps available in the market and sketched the first concepts. EarthCam and alternative sources provide a street-view video feed.

I selected the weather icons from the Noun Project. I used the Gill Sans Nova typeface for its elegant, modern quality and extensive font family. I wanted the weather report to be prominent and straightforward while overlaying a live video feed.

Ultimately, I used footage from pexels.com and pixabay.com for the mockup. I designed the UI in Adobe Photoshop, which I imported into Adobe After Effects. And I experimented with spot blurring and dimming of the video layer to give the weather report overlay enough contrast.
