For Interactive Design we were asked to design an app that would encourage more people to go outside which I really enjoyed. I named my app ‘No Excuses’, referring to the fact that the app is that easy, helpful and fun to use that there are no excuses to not spend more time outside, even…Continue Reading Interactive Design
