Week 5B

Our app My Seat got a name makeover this week. After the mindmapping activity we found that everyone was thinking about everything and anything except for reservations and seating at a restaurant so we switched it up. We wanted this app to have a classy, wealthy kind of ring to it so we settled on the new name Silver Spoon Seating.

Now designing our icon became easier because now we could just focus on silver spoons. We settled on these 6 icons to clean up and color for the final round of choosing icons;

Ben has the 6th image which is two bent spoons that form a chair.

Next is the wireframe of our app design. We know that we wanted a simple login screen and for those new to Silver Spoon Seating we would give a registration screen where you can fill out your info (name, phone #, email). Then from the login screen we have a home screen where you can either check past reservations and their specific info or search for a new restaurant to set a reservation up in. If you hit search, it will bring you to your next screen which is a map, where up top you type in the city you are in. We wanted to base this screen off of an app pattern that we found in our research

the bottom left hand image is the one I'm talking about. the little pop up prices could change due to the filter that you give the map (the filter button would be at the bottom of the app screen as shown^). 

That brings us to the filter screen which would be different things such as reservation time, food type, # of guests, price, and character (casual, fancy, etc.) Then once you decide on a filter from there you can go back and choose a restaurant. You just click on the price window (in this example the little pink dot on that screen, and up will pop a bigger window showing you if you can choose your meal/seating as well along with a button saying reserve which you then press. That will bring you to the seating screen, then from there the food order screen (where you can only order apps. and drinks, and view the online menu.) Then once your done it brings you to the reservation page where you review everything and then hit reserve. 

Here is an outline of Ben and my brainstorm of how we wanted to set up this app.
