Superstore
Item Finder

app development
───  The dilemma of finding specific items in these gigantic 21st century super stores presented itself to me in the early days of my adjusting to North American life. This app was my proposal, a solution for shoppers to save time and gain easy access to item information (e.g. aisle location & price) right at one's fingertips. Because, let's face it, who can be bothered to spend more than 30 minutes going through aisle after aisle, only to miss that bag of rolled oats placed on the lowest shelf?

Loblaws and The Real Canadian Superstore have in no way contracted me to create digital materials for them. This web and app design and development was part of a student project developed at BCIT when I was in the Digital Design and Development program. These were used for educational purposes and inspiration only. All branding graphics are copyright of Loblaws and their subsidiaries.


Landing Page
In addition to creating an app, I designed a mock landing page where customers could download the app.
