Rockerbox is an app that provides unique content from all over the world for 8-11 years old.
The brief was to design an app that would be easy to navigate as a young user, has a fun design and some great features to keep the user engaged.
Challenges
The biggest challenge was designing an app that a young person who may have just got their first phone can use. We used just three home buttons, a simple search button and easy to access stories.

Logo & Identity
Rockerbox is a traditional gold mining implement that separates gold nuggets from gravel. Rockerbox is unique in its design and identity, providing stories which are genuine rare nuggets from around the world.
Our Solution
