The buttons in the bottom corner provide visual explanations of the interface. The film strip shows a demo of how the forest can change according to how you drive and the note button shows a legend to help the user understand the different trees. Both of these buttons have links back to the main display which is the one in this image.
The trees are all individual buttons themselves, in terms of it being ultimately a touch screen, the user just needs to touch and hold the tree to get more information about what each tree means. in this case all the trees are positive contributing factors so the information is all in positive percentages, though if the trees were brown then the information would be a negative percentage.
The only constantly present text in the interface is "Your Forest", i did this so that the user is always reminded of their personal connection with the forest as it is their actions whilst driving that influence it.
Over all i wanted my interface to be aesthetically pleasing and require little thinking in its operation from the user so that it would appeal to everyone and entice people to keep on using it.
