Duration:Jun - Aug 2024Project Overview:
The Iowa Food and Family organization partnered with our team to create an experience for visitors across the 11 day Iowa State Fair. We created an interactive color-and-scan experience that let visitors color in an animal/crop of choice and scan it into a digital farm world. We additionally worked on an web experience that visualized the farm-to-table process of the major Iowan farm industries.

Process  Given an open ended prompt, the project was initiated with a broad exploration phase. The team and I pooled together references across various design aspects. Refined concepts were put together using those reference bits along with continued idea development.

Color-And-Scan Experience Design The client was strongly interested in moving forward with the Color-And-Scan station experience. Instead of centering around a story, our focus switched to making that experience the focal point of the space.

Farm-To-Table Web Experience  The Farm-To-Table mobile webpage was designed to complement the client’s branding as well as the Color-And-Scan experience. Each farm had five different animations representing five main steps of each farm process.
