EasyCam
My final year dissertation investigated learning preferences and the most effective ways to educate a broad range of individuals.
Alongside this, I created a prototype tool to put this into practice, the tool was EasyCam, an interactive website which taught the fundamentals of photography.
This project involved a lot of research, illustration, motion graphics, and UX Design.
The full prototype can be found here.
/ Web Design, Branding, & Illustration
Branding
Although not the main focus of my project, I was able to work on the branding somewhat for this fictional website tool. Below outlines some of the development process when it came to the logo design, as well as showcasing the text and colour styles.
Illustrations
A big component and selling point of my tool would be immersion and interactivity. The goal was to create some illustrations which would act as a virtual environment for the user to practice their photography skills.
These backdrops were illustrated in a simplistic style as I would need to ensure motion graphics were able to be implemented.
UI Design
The bulk of my practical project came from the finalised website prototype. Using everything I had learned from my research and interviews, I set out to create a tool which would have a large chance to grab its potential users with different learning preferences.
Thought was put into the content, sounds, animations, and the overall visual appeal of the design.

Motion Graphics
To bring the project to life there was a huge emphasis on interactivity. As this was only an accompanying video demonstration I went through the process of animating my prototype manually for the final video.
An example of the most intensive use of motion graphics can be found in the interactive tasks of photography techniques (where a user can test what they have learned in a virtual environment).
Some examples can be found below.
Summary
The culmination of my University Studies resulted in a major project and dissertation relating to learning preferences, but also UX design.
I put everything I had learned into practice by creating a prototype design and visual demonstration of an interactive learning tool I had created named EasyCam.
