Branding
When we originally started forming the idea for this project, my team and I wanted to try and encapsulate the joy and indulgence of savoring a good dessert. We believed that by making use of pastel colours and playful drawings it would foster an engaging and memorable experience.
Utilizing a font such as Baloo Tammudu 2 (which could be seen as playful and expressive with its rounded shapes and friendly curves) made it great for designs that would require a fun and energetic vibe. We coupled this with Roboto, which is usually seen as modern and clean with a balanced and straightforward design that suits a wide range of applications.
Product Features
One of the features we felt we absolutely needed was online ordering. By having this readily available it would provide a seamless and convenient ordering process, providing customers with the chance to add their desired desserts to the cart, review their selections, and proceed to checkout. This would allow customers to enjoy the convenience of placing their dessert orders from anywhere whenever they want, saving them valuable time and effort.
User Interface
Something my team and I felt we would be important for the cafe was the use of cartoonish drawings for menu items, which could add a playful and whimsical vibe while maintaining a consistent aesthetic across the platform. These unique and stylized representations would help to create a memorable and distinctive brand identity, setting the dessert cafe apart and enhancing its visual appeal.
