This project needed to appeal to a primary school aged audience and house AR & audio story content geolocated at selected schools and cultural sites.

• With a tight production schedule, I completed over 20 illustrations, designed and implemented a full UI reskin, and created an AR portal experience within 6 weeks.

• The supplied reference art direction was geared to an adult audience - created a tailored version to appeal to kids that still felt cohesive with the exhibition.

• Designed & implemented the UI (including coding a few of the UI flows).

• Created a custom Mapbox style to achieve a hand drawn, kid friendly aesthetic.

• Illustrated the collectable crafting materials to be fun to look at and colourblind-friendly on both light & dark backgrounds.

• Built custom shader for UI graphic overlays in Shadergraph, then edited the generated code to make it compatible with Unity 2021. Any illustration that appears in multiple aspect ratios/graphic treatments is generated from a square sprite via the material.

• Using some clever strategy to repurpose & recolour assets for efficiency while under a tight timeframe, created an additional 15 story illustrations in approximately two weeks.
