Google Impact Challenge – Bay Area 2015 Platform
Desktop/Mobile Platform
For the second year of the Google Impact Challenge Bay Area, Google wanted to extend the voting process beyond as well as make updates to the existing website. This article from Ad Week captures some of the highlights.
The website was overhauled to adopt Google Material Design principles, custom interactive/paper posters (used at a range of locations around the Bay Area – baseball games, privately owned cafes and shops, food trucks, etc) and interactive bus shelters were created to allow real world voting.
