Afternoon Tea
UI/UX Project
About
Afternoon Tea project is inspired by Starbuck Redesign.
Afternoon Tea is a local bubble tea store dedicated for young adults and teenagers who like drinking bubble teas. The naming idea comes from that the bubble tea store often opens on 11 am and most people grab a bubble tea in the afternoon. Afternoon Tea tends to make every sip special and tends to create unforgettable memory for the customers.
As a big fan of bubble tea, I tend to improve drink ordering experience through this app and explore a unique solution to approach.

Branding Idea
Logo Idea:
The bottle represents bubble tea bottle, the sprout represents the store using eco-friendly straws and packing supplies, the sun represents the tittle Afternoon Tea.
Color Idea:
Purple means mystery. The idea of choosing purple comes from that bubble tea lovers find tasty drinks from seasonal mysterious drinks. Additionally, purple also encourage people to explore mysterious drinks.
Cyan, yellow, coral, and purple are cosmic colors that represent rewarding system. Cosmic colors are galaxy colors, so connecting the store's rewarding system to galaxy makes the reward challenge and meaningful.

Design System
Lesson I learned
- I learn the font system for a UI/UX web or app design. (Large title for head banner: 55pt - 65pt/ Sub-title font-size: 35 - 45pt/ Paragraph: 12 - 18pt/ Navigation(Menu): 14 - 18pt)
- Figma Mirror helps me to design accurate fonts and image sizes for app.
- I improve my user interface design knowledge and skills a lot from last year.
- Adding illustrations can make user interface design looks even more attractive.
Reflections
I use my favourite cosmic color palette for this project in order to approach a unique solution. By the end, I approach a illustrative style to complete the project. In the future, I wish I can continue to work and evolve this illustrative style.
