Designs for Record Subs

Overview

This was a landing page mockup for a concept university sub shop I created using Adobe Photoshop. I was tasked with designing the page for a class in UX/UI design. The colors are reminiscent of the school colors for the college I was attending.

Personas

The following personas were created to guide the design process throughout. Since I was designing the page for a university sub shop, I chose to create two profiles, one for a student and another for a professor.

Lori Sandoval

  • Student

  • 20 years old

  • Majoring in Psychology

  • Hobbies include playing guitar, hammocking, reading ghost stories

  • Taking 15 credit hours this semester in psychological profiling, abnormal psychology, and applied psychology

  • Hopes to graduate in two more years and become a counselor for a major hospital

  • Single, but active in the campus social scene

  • Favorite sandwich is a tuna melt

Cory MacDuff

  • Professor

  • 53 years old

  • Teaches Ancient History

  • Hobbies include writing short stories, fishing, kayaking, and disc golf

  • Teaches four classes a day, including two core education classes

  • Desires to stay at the school until retirement at age 65, then move to Wyoming and live in the mountains

  • Married with three children, all in their teens

  • Favorite sandwich is a reuben

Color Scheme

The color scheme was chosen to approximate the colors of the college with some variations to allow for greater ease of use.

Reds

The reds vary from solid bright red to a lighter shade of red to maroon for various button states, headings, etc. Reds will be used to express energy and passion as a signal for quick service, to whet the appetite, and to call the user’s attention to important actions.

Blues

The blues also vary from solid royal blue to other shades and hues to account for different visual hierarchies within the website. Blues will be used to increase brand trust and loyalty, to create a stable environment, and to allow the user to have a comfortable and pleasant experience.

Name

"Record Subs" indicates both that the shop wishes to be the fastest shop and the best shop for sub sandwiches on campus.

 

Wireframe

The following wireframe presents a simple design for the sub shop website. To increase speed and efficiency, the landing page includes only two CTA buttons, "Order" and "About". The goal is to allow customers to order quickly, but also be able to learn more about the shop if they are interested to build brand loyalty. Clicking the about button on the home screen takes the customer to a timeline listing the history of the shop to build brand recognition and promote feelings of reliability and trust in the customer. From the order button, customers are taken to an order screen where they select what items they want and see the total added up in the side bar to the right. Once they have selected all their items, they click the checkout button to input card information and pay, completing the order. The entire interaction is designed to be as quick and efficient as possible for the customer.
