Progressive Diner App Prototype


My Research
At the beginning of the research phase, my idea was to have a food truck that traveled around the city, feeding children in their own neighborhoods. 
I looked at the existing solution to see if my work could expand its scope.

Currently, IPS operates Bus Stop Cafe:
  1. It's a great way to reach children in their own neighborhoods.
  2. It feeds more than 60,000 children during the months of June and July.
  3. Bus Stop Cafe only operates on Monday-Friday when school is not in session.

Naming the App Prototype
Progressive Diner came from the idea of a progressive dinner, a meal that moves around a city or neighborhood. It's a fun play on words. I like the fact that pd. is not only the initials of the business, but also the abbreviation of the word paid. 
The Design Process
Picture
Since the app was initially intended for children, I started with a bright color palette, and considered using a character mascot.

As the idea expanded to be an app for adults and children, the color palette changed. When the icon was tested in bright sunlight, the consensus of my class was that the icon on the far right worked best in terms of visibility. 
Picture
The logo was created with basic shapes, and then refined according to feedback I received.
