Context
This project focused on implementing "progressive disclosure" to design a dynamic weather dashboard for a city. The challenge was to create a clean, structured interface with minimal iconography and no color. My goal was to prioritize clarity and usability while revealing more detailed information as needed, to ensure a smooth user experience that focuses on the use case.
Use Case
The asthmatic individual loves to be outdoors but has trouble when the weather exacerbates their respiratory condition. They are most concerned with tracking the air quality index and humidity, as both can significantly impact asthma symptoms. To help them make decisions about going outdoors and to better manage their condition they need to know when the AQI reaches unhealthy levels or when humidity is high
Initial State
Constrains- No color
- type & lines only
- display current day/date & location on all states
Second State
ConstraintsUse colors used in gradation study
Final State
Color-coding was used to distinguish the quality of the two most critical factors for asthmatic individuals: air quality and relative humidity, making it easier to interpret their impact at a glance. With so much information provided, I also felt it necessary to be transparent about the scale’s ranges.
