Best of Application Gold Award 2017

 
 

During my time as the creative director at Soak Digital, I had the pleasure of collaborating with our talented team on the development of an award-winning app for The Economist. My primary focus revolved around translating intricate wireframes into an exquisite user interface, carefully balancing the presentation of dense content to create an engaging and visually appealing experience.

 
 

This remarkable app serves as a delightful and data-rich reference guide, catering to the needs of business professionals, educators, and enthusiasts of statistics alike. Offering comprehensive insights into 190 countries, it showcases a diverse range of rankings spanning from birth rates and patents to Nobel prize laureates and GDP figures. The inclusion of the interactive “Factquest” quiz game challenges users’ knowledge of global statistics, while the daily “Fact of the Day” feature ensures each morning begins with a dose of enlightening information. Furthermore, the app’s country comparison tool empowers users to visualize data through dynamic chart representations.

The app’s exceptional design and functionality were lauded with prestigious accolades, including the esteemed People’s Lovie award, the distinguished Best of Application Gold Award from Creative Pool, and the coveted German Design Award 2017, underscoring its impact and recognition within the digital realm.
