Inspiration

2. Filed Trip

We went to ‘The Mission’ to  see the vibes and murals so that we can get ideas 

Ideation

3. Define the Concept

To decide concept of this app, we’ve explored concept areas and elements that catch user’s interest based on market & user research. 

4. Final Concept

The final concept is ‘cultural exploration.’ Expand & ideate what we can achieve within this concept. At this stage, we created user flow and iterate it more than 10 times.

Research

5, Research Arts

Research mural arts to decide what arts we are going to include based on our concept.

6. Outreach Artist

We reach out to artist to get  more information and story about the murals.

7. Mapping locations

Using Google Maps, pin the location for making the selected mural. We optimize the routes to a users can see as many mural arts as they can see on the way.

User Flows

7. User flows / Flow tasks

We then converged our thinking to determine the core user journeys. During the user journey phase, we would often start sketching as ideas emerged.

Reflection

Working on the Mission Mural Madness project was one of the most fun experiences—especially exploring the Mission’s beautiful murals for research—so there is no doubt our users will also have a great time exploring on their own.

This project is successful in that it allows users the flexibility of using our optimized tour route or taking a more freeform approach, and gives a lot of context into the artists and their work.

If we had more time, we would have developed the discovery aspect a bit more so that we could attract more users than just those who happen to be in the Mission and see our QR codes.
