Smilegate 'Ahha Ohho' Key Design Project
Smilegate, a Korean game company best known for its title Lost Ark, developed the application “Ahha Ohho” to foster future game designers and further support children’s creative education. The application is consisted of 4 distinctive 'worlds' that the users can explore by completing unique tasks dedicated to achieve each worlds' theme.
In this project, I was commissioned to create key designs that visually represent the app’s wide range of creative activities. Each design was crafted to embody the essence of its theme while highlighting a quirky, playful quality that emphasizes a childlike sense of imagination and joy.
World One – Freedomdom City
This world encourages children to take discarded objects and everyday trash they can easily find around them, and reinterpret them through their own unique perspective to transform the discarded objects into their unique creative works.

World Two – Future-bee
This world encourages activities where children use block coding to address various problems facing our planet. The coding activities are led by the world's main character called 'Future-Bee'.

World Three – JiJinBang
As 'JiJinBang' is a Korean acronym for 'Earth's Official Vacation', the world encourages children to explore and appreciate mother nature within their daily lives. As 'Bang' means 'Room' in Korean, the design visualizes a whole new world inside a mysterious room.
