I have to keep reminding myself that this is a learning exercise. There are just so many possibilities.
I have always been amazed at how fast a child or a teenager can learn a computer game. They are focused and enthusiastic and breeze through the steepest of learning curves. But try to teach them math…
I have some ideas for getting teens uber enthused about learning via mobile gaming. Their teacher/guardian would set the content. The game engineers/artists would create the environment. So I have chosen to make icons with an appeal to both teenagers and school administrator types. (Is that even possible?)
My six binary specs are.
- 3D
- Iconsised
- Not symmetric
- Rounded
- Consistent colour scheme
- Appeal to administrators as well as gamers.
Here is an example. I would use a violet background not blue and slightly different content. But the picture should convey the sense of what I hope to achieve. Lots to learn here. Highlighting, gradients, shading etc. I look forward to the challenge. Great course. Thank you for the Android / Apple links.
These Icons are from Mathletics, a program by 3P Learning. (Credit where credit is due.)
