Design sketching and exploration
The design had to incorporate one number of features which included a scalable map, the ability to track moving vessels and alert the user of any illegal behaviour.
Vessel & alert icon exploration
One of the main challenges for the interface was to help identify vessels and the alerts that have been triggered. When designing the icons I started with primitive shapes and then expanded the icons to develop a level of meaning and understanding so when looking at a screen with multiple icons the user could easily identify the difference.
Design ideation
Each feature was meticulously designed which explanations to really help explain to stakeholders how the vessel would be tracked and more importantly what alert has been triggered.
Final design
The final design output was concise and bold in design, the information was clearly laid out and communication the data effectively. Links to project article: BBC News & The PEW charitable trusts
