Interactive Story Player
A creative direction study for an interactive narrative experience in the field of culture, education and digital storytelling.
Overview
The project explored five distinct interface proposals for a digital story player inspired by ancient healing, the Asclepieion of Kos and the figure of Hippocrates. Each direction tested a different atmosphere across desktop and mobile, from quiet botanical layouts to warmer archival textures and darker, more immersive environments.
The challenge was to bring clarity, character and consistency to an experience that was already shaped by an existing technical framework. The design work had to respond to structural limitations, content needs and responsive requirements, while giving the story a stronger identity and rhythm.
The work also included image direction and curation of AI-assisted illustration assets, ensuring that each proposal had a coherent tone and could support the narrative without overwhelming the interface.
The approved direction evolved into a minimal, editorial UI system built around restrained typography, transparent image assets, clear spacing, simple interaction patterns and consistent screen behavior.
The final delivery translated the selected direction into a developer handoff, including design tokens, typography, layout rules, component specifications, responsive behavior, annotated screens and asset guidelines.
