Background An independent school project in the course “Design & Production for web and online channels”. The task was to design a clickable prototype for a restaurant app with at least 8 frames and 3 userflows in Figma. The app must contain: App icon, Slash screen, Header, Navigation, Footer & Filter function.
Working Process Started with a research where I looked up other restaurant apps. I realized that there weren’t that many restaurants today that have their own app. Most restaurants instead use larger platforms such as Wolt, Foodora and Uber Eats. Another common solution is QR codes that go directly to a website.
My challenge became to come up with a bigger purpose for the app to make people want to download it. I started brainstorming lots of different ideas about what a restaurant could offer more than food and how to connect it with an app. Then the idea for Restaurang BaoBao was born. A restaurant that is so much more than an ordinary restaurant. A meeting place to meet, socialize and have fun. The tonality is lively and hip. It should attract young people, students and workers. A meeting point offering AW, Quiz, Stand up, Karaoke, Live concerts and much more. The events part of the app is called Happenings on BaoBao.
The work continued with making a style guide where I myself have created the logo and the illustrations. I wanted to create a playful and colorful profile that is different from the regular app style. It became a challenge to find the balance between the playful and the clarity.
