Design Brief


INTRODUCTION TO INTERACTION DESIGN- PROJECT TWO



For my application assignment I decided to associate with a simple artist model – Super Mario brothers. In the world of retro gaming Mario is considered a classic so I wanted to capture a simplistic yet effect style adapting the crucial elements that make Mario what it is.

I adapted the use of Victoria University into the name Super Vic Bros to suggest an game like experience. Pixelated imagery has been used along with the character Mario himself to create an interactive experience for users. My application is directed towards first year Victoria University students who may need extra assistance with finding their bearings from class to class. To avoid confusion I have covered the most essential areas that a first year student would need to find such as the library.

I have designed the application as an effective method for students to either test their navigation skills or receive help with directions by having a series of options. ‘Show me’ allows students to be shown the most direct path to ones class, while ‘test me’ challenges students to find their own routs to gain points that can then be redeemed at the canteen as coffee vouchers.
