I started by looking for mood boards. I already had an idea of what I wanted the design to look like, including the colour scheme, so it was easy to find styles that matched my vision. After that, I focused on the layout and how to present each part clearly and visually. Deciding on the layout was quite easy. The only real challenge was making sure the design stayed consistent across all pages, so I had to keep adjusting the text and images. Despite that, I’m satisfied with the final outcome.

The goal is to visually and conceptually prepare the interaction design and animations that will enhance the user experience of our application.  Splash Screen Weather apps typically don’t need a splash screen since users just want to get straight to the forecast. But since some well-known weather apps, like AccuWeather, still include one for branding, and AI also suggested keeping it quick and minimal, I decided to include a simple splash screen with a fade-in and fade-out anim...
