Your Photo on Times Square Now!
Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi User Flows | UI Design | Sketch | InVision
My final project for the Web Design summer course at Pratt Institute was a prototype for an app that allows you to upload your photo in Times Square to one of Times Square’s billboards.
The money paid is donated to a charity of the user's choice and one would use AR to find their billboard and get their cameras ready!
App Features
-
A person in Times Square can choose to upload different number of photos to a Times Square billboard at varying costs for a few seconds
-
The user can choose which charity to donate the money to.
-
Images are checked against appropriateness guidelines
-
Billboard chosen is a surprise
Design Challenges
-
The audience mainly includes tourists from all over the world and some New Yorkers
-
App must be universally accessible and easy to navigate
-
-
Times Square is a noisy and hectic user environment
-
App functionality must be based on simple and quick tasks
-
