For my online desktop design, I started to create a design that is suitable for children aged 14 and under. I wanted to use a blue and white colour scheme as it relates to the idea of space and ‘blue’ being one of the most popular colours. My initial idea was to create a website that has different pages that explained ways you can see relativity in real life (based on website: http://www.livescience.com/48922-theory-of-relativity-in-real-life.html) and explaining these with infographics and icons that I will design. I made this design as my first initial thought:

Relativity Online Desktop

I then asked an opinion of a web design student from a different university of his opinion on my design and if it would work well. This was when he suggested that it would possibly work better if I kept it on all one page. I developed this idea further and decided to design another prototype with keeping the same layout but with different info-graphics when selected each sub heading.

I have done some research into the theory of relativity to see if I could get my head around it and hoping it would make this project a little easier if I actually had the knowledge of the actual science. Unfortunately, science is not my strong point. However, I found a website that told us some ways you can see the theory of relativity in real life. – http://www.livescience.com/48922-theory-of-relativity-in-real-life.html. This gave me a great idea for my online desktop prototype and I got to work at creating some icons and graphics. I wanted to stick to  simple black and white colour scheme for the icons however for my infographics I want to use bright and bold colours to make them stand out and look interesting to my audience.
