Maya The Bee
Graphic User Interface, icon, iPad & iPhone
Problem: Create an interface for a series of interactive books for children, without being tied to a specific book. Also size of the images in the books does not allow create full-screen experience.
Solution was to create an interface based on a children's puppet theater.
Each section is represented as a room with unique scenery. Such an interface suitable for any book. First book in series — Maya The Bee. Available in the app store.
Loading screen was created in such way that the book's cover could be easily replaced with another stories about Maya and her friends.
Below the book there is the stage with hanging main controls and sections: turn on/off narrator's voice, pages navigation, painting, info and game sections.
iPhone version contain sliding dock.
The painting application's room made look like artist's workshop, with all attributes: easel, frames, brushes and splatters of paint.
Section decorated like kid's playing room, and include some technologies (for boys) and toys (for girls).
Icon represent the idea of interface (puppet theater) and was created with the series of books in mind. Cover could be easily replaced with other book's character without loss of recognition.
