Assessment Description

In this assessment, you will prepare a group report based on data provided for a potential new menu item that is high in anti-oxidants, to be offered across different types of fast food outlets. This menu item sources its anti-oxidants from multiple continents to convey the image of a truly global food offering.
One member of your group is to play the role of the consumer (for purposes of developing a persona and applying the “empathy’ stage of design thinking).
Assume your product item is being specifically considered for inclusion in the Hungry Jack’s Fresh Choices menu. Your group member, who is playing the role of the consumer, is likely to purchase from this outlet. Prototype and test your lo-fi wireframe with this consumer.
Prepare a 500-word report that discusses the steps you followed and how you applied the data and resources supplied with this assessment brief to the design of your menu item.
