GCSE Mobile Maths

Future Platforms asked us to help out with the design on an application called GCSE Mobile Maths for Harcourt’s Heinemann brand. Focusing on the visual style, we had to come up with something fresh and lively that students would embrace as a learning tool, as well as enjoy.

The front screen was really important for us on this one; we really wanted to grab peoples’ attention, so we ended up going for a four-colour Damien Hurst-style polkadot matrix design, based upon the four maths topics in the application.

Designing a complex maths-based font system for a range of small screen sizes was a challenge, but we worked well with FP on coming up with a tasty little solution.
