Occasional Rain
Weather App
The value of wireframes is the way they integrate all three elements of the structure plane: interface design, through the arrangement and selection of interface elements; navigation design, through the identi cation and de nition of core navigational systems; and information design, through the placement and prioritization of informational components. By bringing all three together into a single document, the wireframe can de ne a skeleton that builds on the underlying conceptual structure while pointing the way forward toward the surface design.
This project is carried out on an individual basis. You have been engaged to work on the early design stages for a weather app that will run on mobile devices eg smartphone (eg iPhone) or tablet (eg iPad). Initial user research has been carried out and potential target user groups are already decided.
I choose the second one to think and design.

LJ's Outdoor App
This App is design for the skiers and mountain sports enthusiasts that use on the tablet .
In the home page, users could choose which type sports they will doing, for example, if a person click skiing, the App hosts for almost all the ski resorts worldwide, along with weather forecasts for those locations.
The alarm function could tell users the distance between his/her location and a storm/snow/rain... It also could record data with apple watch to tell users the amount of his/her exercise.

The track function could combine position and radar functions to show users the track of the locations map.
