These are initial wireframe sketches, they are quite rough and small, however they experiment with different layouts and orientations of the pages and are far less detailed, however these are then going to be developed on to create the final wireframes which the design can then be based on. These wireframes experiment with which icons go where and also what happens when you click on certain objects and the user journey all the different outcomes that can potentially happen.
Highlights of these wireframes are the option of landscape and portrait, landscape was decided for children as this is more accessible and makes for a larger surface area for the child to use and the icons can be made bigger. It also acts more as a sheet of paper, giving them a more realistic feel and practice of cursive handwriting.
Portrait was decided for the parents section, ultimately for ease of use as this section contained mainly text therefore it's easier to scroll and read and hold the phone upright, rather than landscape.
The home screen only contains profiles, avatars and usernames which adds to the efficiency and ease of use and understanding. Both for children as they just clock on their avatar and it will take them through to their section and adults also as hey don't have the hassle of remembering usernames or passwords. There also isn't any contact information or things that could breach a child's safety on the adults section, therefore privacy and security isn't something that needs to be considered.
Another consideration was the praise and incentives for children within the app, as after research it showed that when playing and doing educational activities they need to be praised, and need an incentive to carry on and a purpose otherwise they wil get bored much more easily. Therefore the use of stars, stickers and collection of colours has been discussed and experimented with.
Obviously the size of the screens will stay the same as it will be accessible for all smartphones which are generally similar dimensions and widths, a larger size will initially be created and therefore it won't change the quality or dimensions if it is reduced down.
