The app market is currently saturated with a wide range of weather apps which means the quality of the products and services range greatly as well. The goal of this project was to create a mobile interface experience that values a functional experience and considers the fundamentals of visual communication aspects. My initial research showed that current weather experiences often are overwhelmed with features that do not apply to everyone. I decided to narrow down the audience towards people who work or spend most of their time outdoors. Outdoor allows people to quickly gauge weather safety and customize and prioritize weather traits applicable to them. If the weather approaches unsafe levels, it will notify them. The layout of the Outdoor app puts emphasis on the daily forecast with personalized hourly traits. This level of detail is valuable for workers who need to plan their day around the weather.
