Weather App

Brief:
To create a weather forecast iphone and ipad app that integrates text with an icon system. My personal goals for this project were to create:
1. An original icon system.
2. A minimalistic and visually appealing app that could appeal to many populations.
 

Solution:
The final product resulted in an app that communicates the weather through color, an icon system that shows not only the weather conditions but also the proportions and dynamics of the weather, and an interesting typographic layout that supports the minimalistic style of the icons.
I approached the icon system from a typographic standpoint, with the idea of an icon system that would function best in a family and grouped with other symbols. This led to the idea of making minimalistic icons that communicate best together. In a glance, the viewer can ascertain the average and proportion of possible weather elements they may encounter that day. When an icon is grouped with other icons, they build up a bigger picture of what the weather is like.
