Store Front Design

Hey peeps :D Gonna share about what I've done for my Principles and Practices of Interactive Media's first assignment !

So, we are required to design a store front interactive touch screen installation to show the unique identity of a brand in Sunway Pyramid. In my case, I needed to select one of the optical stores in Pyramid.

And Tada! I chose Focus Point!

After I've done my research, I think the tagline ' No Fakes, Only Originals.' in their posters is quite interesting and that is what differentiates Focus Point from other optical stores.

Again, Tada! I decided to work on the store front according to this unique identity. F.P. launched ' Go Original' campaign to educate the consumers about the advantages of buying and using original eye-­‐care products. It also educated the consumers about the harms of using counterfeits because some counterfeits are not well designed and might cause serious vision problems.Hence, the idea of comparisons of  the facts of fake and original eye-ware came to me.

I designed 3 sets of short interactive games to show the compare the fakes and originals based on durability of frames, lenses and the ability of UV protection. 

Also got to experiment with the application of different gesture commands such as tapping, dragging & spreading in it. 


Colour scheme 

Main : Red and Black ( identity colours )
Sub: Grey, Blue , Yellow ( Based on their interior design colour scheme )

Here we go >

Intro / Idle page: The cases will open randomly and user can tap on any opened case to start the whole experience.



It will proceed to the game set according to the chosen case.
( inspired by whack-a-mole / hit-a-mole game )

# Durability of lens




I didn't mention how many times the user should tap, but after 30 taps, the lens on the left will shatter into pieces.


 Then, I will reveal which side is the fake/ original. 


Brand message & brand presence


If the user chooses ' Next Mission' , it will back to the mission choosing page.

# Durability of frame








# UV protection











Counterfeits might not have the ability to protect our eyes from harmful UV rays.





The End of the Store front game !

Realised all the fakes are on the left? 
And all the brand message are presented in red & black shades? 
Contrast effect on left and right background ?

I wanna make the message clearer and easier to be delivered, more predictable because after all it is still a store front design to deliver the brand message to the user. Making the entire experience more simple,short and clear will ensure the user understand the content effectively.

fyi, these are just the interface designs. It's not coded application.

Well, that's all for PPIM :D

Feel free to comment and share your thoughts <3

And I didn't sleep at all the night before this submission HAHA
but I am satisfied with the result thou!

Nights!

转折

刚结束了degree first year first sem 的第一阶段
上两个星期的睡眠时间实在是超越了之前foundation时期的记录
怎么说呢
因为要驾车所以为了安全起见我都会坚持睡觉

几个小时也好

但最近真的连续只睡1、2个小时
直到前天根本没睡

那种时间如流水 从天黑到天亮 从虫鸣到鸟叫 一抬头瞄向时钟
‘我的天啊 8:00am 了! ’

那种靠Pokka 咖啡 (RM1.80而已,超给力)来度过每一个晚上

那种早上去上课已经不花时间打扮,看见什么穿什么,连护肤品都懒得擦

那种各种software不听话 把自己费尽心思制作的东西毁于一行拍拍屁股要你重做的notice
'Adobe xxx has stopped working.'

那种缺水缺睡脑袋不灵活手残把一个又一个file overwrite 掉要重做

那种本来很热闹的车程到车上的两位朋友逮到机会就睡到嘴巴都合不起来

那种早餐连mamak都没时间去 只能啃朋友家的面包

那种觉得自己像神一样 在这样的限定时间能完成这样的成品




种种的感觉 让我彻底的觉得自己是个Degree student了。

被虐狂吗?



我只能说,多了黑眼圈 多了几颗痘痘

更多的是

成就感。


两个星期的Study break,
好好准备开学要交的animation 和剩余的作业
好好享受参与音乐剧的Voluntary Design Project
好好运动
好好睡觉

然后让我们再一起并肩作战。




P/s : 迟点再把作品整理上来, 晚安。
