More information on design of the solution

  • To avoid the user skipping the categories and to show the user the explored and unexplored categories separately, I decided to use the blur option.
  • For ex : locking the levels 2-5 to those who are in level 1 in the missions section , blurring the missions which were already read by the user – So they can easily identify the unread contents.

  • As mentioned in the starting view slide, all animations and graphics which are applied to other sections also will work in the application.

  • Updated information for the needed section will be applied according to the changes .

  • I decided to show an explanation bar for all the topics and sub topics to show the meaning/summary of them. It will appear when the user hovers on the word.
  • For ex : when the user hovers on the missions tab it will show the sub sections in it clearly.

  • Other colours and fonts in the apps are chosen according to the theme and some facts.
