As my mental health application centres around getting exercise to improve mental health, I am including different fitness challenges where users can take part in them and compete against others on a leaderboard and receive medals for their success. I used to have a fitbit so I knew that they do the same kinda things so I went onto their website and found some of the different badges you can achieve. I think allowing user to compete and win badges is good as it gives them something to focus on and they will feel good when they win a medal.

These are some of the different badges that you can achieve through Fitbit when you walk so many steps. In total Fitbit have 101 badges for many different milestones. Looking at these helped me decide on the 6 medals that I was gonna create for my prototype, but if I was to actually make the app I would design many more. Some of these where good as I was able to do master apprentice on them when creating a few of the badges just so when I was creating a few of the landmarks I would get them right and they would look good.

I like these badges that Fitbit have created as they are all very colourful and vibrant and really stand out to you when you first see them. I think the illustrations themselves are very simple yet effective but detailed enough that you can tell what they are. As, as soon as I seen them i could tell one was Big Ben, one was The Great Wall of China and one was the Pyramids of Egypt.

These images below are what you see when you achieve the badge, it tells you what it's called, what you did to achieve it and gives you a comparison of something similar to that in nature. Like one says about you have walked the length of The Great Barrier Reef. After seeing these it gave me the idea of creating my own for my medals so my users can see the medal and what they have done to achieve that medal.
