Delaware and Hudson Visitor Center

The Brief:

The Delaware and Hudson Visitor Center wanted an interactive media exhibit that allowed visitors to explore attractions in the Delaware and Hudson Valley. The Delaware and Hudson Visitor Center wanted a custom interactive map display and touch screen kiosk for their visitor center. The purpose was to show users what attractions lay along the canal.

The Process:

As designer on this project, I collaborated with the CD to design 2 Look and Feels; one light to match the exhibition graphics, one dark to contrast them. The client chose the light version. I then designed the user experience using sketches of wireframes to think through the user flow.

The approved Look and Feel had pops of color, fun iconography and a clean layout. I married the wireframes with the Look and Feel to create an easy-to-use, interactive map that allowed users to filter what types of sites they wanted to see. A large map above allowed multiple users to view the map in addition to the person standing at the touch screen.
