Overview
Rillquest is a product design concept for river field surveys. Field observations lose context when photographs, site identifiers and visit notes are stored separately. The scope connects four activities: catchment map, field notebook, survey itinerary, observation comparison. Each has a dedicated screen, with a watershed map with a vertical field-notebook drawer establishing the visual direction. The work includes interface composition, proposed feature architecture and industry-specific showcase imagery.
Four original river field surveys interface concepts. Records, technical values and depicted workflows are illustrative.
Challenge
Field observations lose context when photographs, site identifiers and visit notes are stored separately. A useful workspace must preserve the connection between the original reference, the selected record and the discussion around a change. Showing more information alone would not resolve that handoff.
- Keep site identifiers and visit records connected to the selected work.
- Make team assignments visible at the point where decisions are reviewed.
- Retain offline drafts and observation history through the handoff.
Solution
The design starts with a watershed map with a vertical field-notebook drawer. Locate fictional survey sites on a watershed illustration and inspect visit notes. The remaining views separate exploration, coordination and review into layouts suited to their content. A slate, aqua and moss palette gives the product its own visual identity, while selected-record panels keep details close to the working surface.
- Locate fictional survey sites on a watershed illustration and inspect visit notes.
- Review a dated site entry with photographs, observation fields and attachments.
- Arrange site visits on a route strip beside a team calendar.
- Compare two visits through paired photographs and recorded observations.
