The Eat Happy Project is part of Tesco’s long term commitment to help children learn more about where their food comes from.
Teaming up with the lead UX Designer, my responsibilities as the lead Visual UX Designer on the Tesco account were to make sure we had a pixel-perfect design of the website, recommend changes, make sure brand design principles were followed and developed under best design principles and accommodate new functionality such as: news page, farm to form page, let’s cook page. Changes were made taking into consideration the fluid nature of the client’s business and best design principles.
Working closely with designers, developers and the client services we delivered work in an agile environment on successive sprints from inception to completion.
So far, these were the awards we won:
Winner of National CSR Awards for the ‘Best Education Project’
Winner of the International Content Marketing Awards for highly commended in the ‘Best Public Sector / Government’ category WINNER OF UK UX AWARDS 2014 for the ‘Best educational experience’
UX OBJECTIVES

Widen children’s world through experiences that their school might not be able to offer otherwise, particularly through use of Online Field Trips and the Farm to Fork Trail
