Design Problem
-
There has been a surge in online shopping with non-essential retailers recently
-
This also means that there is a rise in packaging waste
-
Call To Action, Individuals should:
-
become aware of recycling guidelines
-
ensure their waste is being correctly managed
-
aim to shop from organizations that are implementing sustainable strategies
-
Phase 1 and Phase 2
-
To start I completed research and compiled it into a document that could later inform the project
-
In the first phase of this project, my call to action was directed more at signing petitions and trying to stop purchases with plastic completely but through this I found that there was a privilege shown within this solution that not all audiences could enact
-
After revising the call to action, the second phase of my project included making a scrollable informative piece on the topic
-
Phase 2 included a visual outline to lay out the information and the next steps
Phase 3: Interactive Extension
-
The final publication kept some of the elements of the online shopping idea but became more about interactive elements and informing the audience.
-
It started with labels such as sale and free shipping to use that terminology as a part of the theme as well as “start shopping” to begin the experience.
-
On the homepage I begin by telling the user to view the items and do shopping in order to get free shipping and learn more about recycling and online packaging. I priced each item that the audience would have to click and view all the resources in order to qualify for free shipping. This helped continue the original theme I created and also teach the audience information about recycling guidelines.
