Abstract
The final project consists of an Herbarium Collection redesign and a mock-up of an Interactive App. As a double major in Graphic Design and Biology, the author set out to create a project that would encompass both fields of study while also solving a problem the author had personally experienced within the field of Science. Currently there are only a few traditional approaches utilized by most college professors to teach scientific information to students. These methods include textbook readings, lectures, and PowerPoint presentations. It has been shown that the ways in which technical information is disseminated significantly affects learner comprehension and without good design the learning process can be difficult and tedious.
