Design Project
How might we aid “communicating ideas in a smarter way” for the “student community of city” On doing extensive research we understood that our peer and many other students are struggling with getting their idea and projects through to government bodies and accepted as a smart city project. So we wanted to ease the process of presenting ideas using smart technologies and build a system that can facilitate the same. The tools we used: Design Thinking, user research including task flow, interview template questionnaire, persona, journey emotional mapping and statistical review, for data interpretation, mind mapping, empathy mapping and general task flow, complex system simplification using info graphs. Final Design Direction: How might we create a platform for communicating ideas and projects for students, as part of smart city system?
Font
The Font Whose Name is Death The name of the typeface is Death. It is made in accordance to give futuristic feel, at the same time hard rock / metal genre mixed. Also giving legendary, royal fantasy feel when properly used. While designing the typeface many things were considered, all the individual letters are designed in a square space allowing only terminals, arc of stem, serif, stem, descenders and apex/vertexs going outside the area.
