In the theoretical foundation, the methodology adopted to develop the game design is described just as the searching for interface studies and the meaning of the graphic design to compose the identity of the app. The audience of the game was studied too, with the intent to know it better and to understand how it interacts and learn in a playful environment. The interaction design and the usability were also studied to create a project focused in the audience. Other games, of the same segment, were analysed what allowed the project final design. A detailed description of the project was also done, covering knowledges of game design, interface design and graphic design. Lastly, the visual identity project for the game (Wah!) was detailed and presented.
