Developing a Persona

What kind of users are drinking coffee? Where can a student load up on caffeine for a study session? Being a student on campus, it can be difficult to find places to study, especially during midterms and finals week. The library is always crowded so students are struggling to find a spot to study and grab their coffee.

Moodboard

Students need a coffee-buying experience that is convenient during finals and midterms week. Some elements from the original website resonate in the design so you will see the use of the signature color red. The target audience are students and professors that want to feel like Cafe Kubal is a safe and convenient place to study and get work done. 

I gathered a mood board of Cafe Kubal of the images I wanted to include in the app.
