Hows my website? a School project

(Upon writing this, I found this to be helpful to add into my Tri-Fold which I need to start)

Unless you live in the other 49 states, us Texans, specifically advanced students, have to create a project called TPSP. Essentially what it is is to answer a personal essential question that will benefit a particular group or whole society. Google TPSP and you'll see what I'm talking about. Its not a fun project, but it pays off to look at what you have achieved in the end. Your little creation in which you could brag to anyone and adorably say, "I made this." you are given from September to March 4th to finish this, and you have to complete steps such as getting approved or researching and lastly making the product/prototype/cause. I had this idea in which will help nearly 90% of the population (based on my mandatory surveys). I just thought of the name, it's RISE, because that's what this app is supposed to do with your knowledge (I originally had names like Genesis, NOVA, anything meaning new, beginning, revolutionary, beautiful and curious).

The project.

Rise is a revolutionary app designed to rise your knowledge on technology that will benefit you in: making smarter purchases, making life easier, and grow smarter every day. Unlike conventional, similar products, RISE was developed with humans in mind. It's the combination of research, psychology, education, technology, and beauty.

Research
In order to make an app, you have to know how it reacts with humans. Before making this, I researched and surveyed many people and found similar patterns. I found people prefer simple sentences instead of paragraphs (also explains why Twitter is growing). People will engage in a well designed website instead of something coded in HTML in less than an hour. Images and videos are also beneficial, since we are naturally visual learners since day one. Unlike writing and reading which we develop. I found quality is what makes a good first impression.

Psychology
Understanding human psychology is very useful as it gives you the secrets of how our minds work. Especially when designing an app. I used resources to find out that the very little details in anything in the world can affect how we perceive it. Colors, typography, the size, and more incorporated in my product was carved by human psychology. An example would be the specific shade of blue which I used. This shade is very calming to us and engages in activity, very important in learning and also explains why some of us suffer from 'Facebook Addiction'.

Education
Teachers, cover your ears. We have changed a lot over the past thousand years. A historical era will last no longer than a century since a revolution is constantly happening. Our beliefs change, our lives change, our society changes, so why are we still using nearly identical teaching techniques from 100 years ago? I researched to find out how to teach 21st century. Unlike conventional books and similar products, RISE will only teach what is beneficial to a particular person thanks to the quick quiz given at launch. A person dreaming of knowing what smartphone to buy next does not need to know how to set up a complicated algorithm in Java.

Technology
Carl Sagan once stated "we've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology." Carl Sagan also admitted that "we live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." RISE will complete the goal in which we will know technology.

Beauty
Unarguably the most overlooked topic is beauty. It's difficult to design a product that will be gorgeous to every eye, but designing one that will be loved by the majority is easier. RISE initially started with the desire to make an experience that is just as loved as the app itself. Simplicity is what we found to be an enjoyable experience as when it is designed to work beautifully, it looks like it to. The huge plus however was the fact it can be learned instantly, just like the content on RISE.



Much flat. So simple. Wow.
