01 · Design rationale

A product direction built around a complete journey.

A dual-mode learning experience covering interests, quest maps, stories, experiments, observation, quizzes, collections, creation, and parent controls. The case study exposes the project’s structure and delivery boundaries so visitors can assess the visual system, route coverage, and intended interactions without mistaking a concept for commissioned client work.

  1. 01

    Interactive science quests with parent oversight

    The route architecture is organised around interactive science quests with parent oversight, with each named screen assigned a specific interaction role.

  2. 02

    Project-specific visual direction

    Tactile primary-ink cut paper with animated experiment objects, large feedback, visible progress, and distinct child and parent modes.

  3. 03

    Original asset plan

    Original cut-paper science art, fictional lesson media and rewards, CSS experiments, and child-safe placeholder profiles.

02 · Experience architecture

Every named screen opens directly, making the concept’s scope inspectable and shareable without loading every experience route on this page.

Routes describe the frontend experience. A visible route does not by itself claim a live backend integration or native store release.

03 · Evidence and boundaries

Original presentation, documented provenance.

Reference research and implementation status are stated separately. Third-party screenshots, logos, and branded assets are not used in this presentation.

Automated targets: structural changed pixels ≤ 2.0%, full changed pixels ≤ 8.0%, MAE ≤ 0.015, RMSE ≤ 0.035. These are measurement targets, not pixel-perfect certification.

Asset record: Original cut-paper science art, fictional lesson media and rewards, CSS experiments, and child-safe placeholder profiles. Reference imagery is research-only. Public experiences ship original or licensed assets with source records.

  • Duolingo primary screen

    central illustrated quest path with circular nodes, unit banner, and locked/completed states

    • Lesson nodes are approximately 72 px circles on a central path
    • Vertical node rhythm ranges from 16 to 24 px
  • Duolingo alternate state

    node press reveals mission state; completion animates progress and unlocks the next node

    • An 18 px bold unit card anchors the path above 14 px labels
    • Seven colorful destinations fit a roughly 60 px bottom rail
