phandplants

pH and Plants is an interactive learning module about the importance of pH in agriculture. It seeks to explain the consequences of a pH imbalance, as well as a few common techniques to manipulate pH balance effectively.

The module is laid out in a non-linear fashion, and allows the user to explore at their own pace and order.  Adobe Illustrator was used to create the graphics and Adobe Audition to edit the audio, while Adobe Edge Animate was used to animate and code the module for the web.

The module is bi-lingual, English/Chinese. The flags at the bottom of the screen will switch both the on-screen text and the accompanying audio.

This animation offers a wide variety of examples, with making any single item stand out as the the best option. The goal was to help students appreciate how many options they had, without making them focus in on one approach as more valuable than others.

We started out with idea of indiana jones hunting for an ancient valuable artifact, but eventually decided to drop that framing metaphor in favor of always going in many different directions with the imagery. This video was mostly created with a Wacom Cintiq monitor, and Adobe Photoshop. Drawings were compiled and animated in Adobe Premiere. Audio was recorded with Audacity, then processed in Adobe Audition.
