About The Competition

Our Design

More about the design
The first challenge was a tight time frame. Sisheng and I had about a month to work on this competition, from researching, ideating and finalizing. What's more, it was also the final weeks at OCAD, so we didn't have an optimal amount of time to work together on this project.
The second challenge was the research part. We were both newcomers to Toronto, and we rarely took any public transit systems. Since this competition is provincial-wide and includes almost all public transportation systems, the amount of research we had to do within the tight time frame was a bit overwhelming.
Division of task:
Researching
Idea generating
Brainstorming
