National Weather Service Redesign

UX Design

Pixel by Pixel Weather Predictions

The National Weather Service rebrand reimagines weather forecasting for children through a playful 8-bit gaming aesthetic that transforms meteorological data into an engaging digital adventure. The UX design creates an intuitive, educational experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop platforms where weather information becomes part of an interactive pixel-art world. The interface features customizable avatars that navigate through weather scenarios, creating personal relevance as they dodge raindrops, carry umbrellas during storms, or wear sunglasses on bright days. Weather data is presented through game-inspired iconography and simplified terminology, making complex meteorological concepts accessible to young users. The app cleverly integrates practical features like bus forecasts and soccer weather conditions alongside traditional weather information.
