Chow Town

(n.) An on-the-go mobile application to identify near-by restaurants Have you ever asked someone any of the following: “What’s around here to eat?”, “What do you want to eat?”,“What restaurants are good around here?”. Chow Town is your solution. Chow Town was created to provide users with a way to find restaurants around them easily, within their price range, and at a rating that is suitable for their needs within a reasonable wait time. Below you will find annotated wireframes, showing three different designs per screen, final designs, and app functionality. Enjoy!

Mood board Inspiration

Given the urgency (and potential for hanger involved with searching for restaurants), I chose to stick with clean, geometric lines, with an underlapping bright yellow for importance, as seen in the far right image with the "Business for Breakfast" bottle.

Wireframes

Below you will find annotated wireframes. For my final designs, I chose to combine a few designs. I took the simplicity of a single image for the landing page, the container that slid from the bottom for the preferences menu, and a single location in a row for favorited locations, relating the home screen to the favorited screen visually.
