Project 3 Proposal

Infographic Design

Project 3 Proposal

Our way finding system will take the form of a guide/map for finding local eateries. In this case the eatery will be a doughnut shop. We are going to use a collection symbols to create an infographic piece that will show where nearby doughnut shops are and will give certain tips and/or facts about each establishment. These facts may include customer ratings, what foods are the best, if they have wifi, etc. The final output will include a map and icon series as per the requirements.

This way finding system will be accessible as a mobile application. It will give the consumer easy access to information without actually being at the doughnut shop. It is to provide the consumer with a much more efficient way to doughnut shop.

Reading Wk2

When I had to help out a buddy of mine with a website for one of his friends, I too had to seek a bunch of information about what kind of business it was, what colors are they fond of, how the website should look and operate. I also had to consider what I could do at that time and how much they wanted from the website. I do wish I would have had a chance to sit down with the client personally instead of having my friend mediate between us. It was aggravating a times when I would receive mixed information. But we got through it. Hooray!
