Here is my 'Final Project Brief' that I have written for my design project. It covers the areas that need including in my designs and also what my intended customer has hypothetically asked for. If I was using a real person's business then I would include their actual thoughts - so instead I have made up these specifics as the business in question could never actually exist as it is for a video game character.Mario's Plumbing
Mario's Plumbing is the business of video game star Mario. He is well known for being a plumber but his plumbing is never actually mentioned. By creating a slick, modern and well designed website for this business, Mario's plumbing abilities can be shown and discovered by a wider audience in the Mushroom Kingdom.
The website needs to represent a serious plumbing business, but also needs to include references to Mario's other fame through his adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom. It also needs it's design to fit into this idea so that the residents of this land will feel at home. Therefore it needs to combine modern and stylish elements of web design with the colourful and fantastical elements of the Mario games and Mushroom Kingdom.
This site does not have a specific audience, as it should be treated as a resource for everybody with a home - or who could have any plumbing difficulties. This makes the design easier as it does not need to be tailored to a specific market but also causes problems as it means that there is no clear focus to the designing.
In order to succeed with this project the website needs to be modern and stylish whilst also taking influences from the Mario video games.
