Art While

you Wait

Design Category: UX/UI

Using the Framer platform, this project develops a high-fidelity UI mockup for a public touchscreen kiosk designed to showcase artists at bus stops. The design emphasizes clear navigation, accessibility, and engaging visuals to effectively communicate artist information in a quick, public-facing environment. This approach supports the City of Charlotte’s goal of promoting local artists while enhancing the cultural experience of everyday transit spaces.

Deliverables include curated pages for the home screen, gallery, about, and citations pages. The kiosk also includes 3-D and animated features along with imagery, typography, and sourced content to create a cohesive and informative mini-site experience
