What
An Interactive Ping Pong game design using p5 JavaScript .
​
&
Developed Interactive App Prototype as an alternative of paper oder-sheet for future implementation.
​
​
Why
Existing order-sheet was cluttered & confusing for baristas as well as customers. Client wanted it simple, intuitive and efficient for customer to fill and baristas to understand it.
HOW
Problem Description
This Graphic Design project was part of course work HCC - 710 : Graphic Design for Interactive Systems. This was a semester long project for The Flying Fruit Cafe, University of Baltimore in partnership with The Choice Program. Main objective was to redesign the Order-Sheet for the cafe and come up with an Interactive Version for the Order-Sheet which would eventually be installed on Order-Kiosk at Cafe. This project basically puts in all the graphic design illustration done for the UMBC The Choice Program-Flying Fruit Kiosk. This project was under the guidance of Dr. Amy Hurst
Final out come of whole design process was supposed to be presented in a printed portfolio for which I chose Map-Exploration Theme. Portfolio unfolds from a square piece to full size map revealing whole design process sequentially. Graphic Design was done on Adobe Illustrator and Prototype was created on MarvelApp.
