MEthru LA

Branding + Experiential Game Design

Project Description

My Thesis explores Issues regarding Urban transportation within Los Angeles. More specifically, how design could help solve civic challenges. In this case, the problem that the LA Metro system has is vastly underused.

As a designer, I was interested in this subject because this city is known for being the land of cars, but while traffic and environmental concerns worsen over time, it is crucial now to get more people to venture off their dependence on the automobile. 

My Thesis Project employs Experiential Game Design to appeal to young Angelenos by peaking curiosity and rewarding exploration in hopes of convincing them to utilize public transit as an alternative method of transportation.
