I will need to consider weather the user will be a adult or child so to make my kiosk to those anthropocentric's.
I need to ensure the Kiosk is easy to read and is big enough to interact with without it being clunky due to having lots of button crammed into a small screen.
The theme needs to be based around the Idea of Bahrain, so I need to consider what the main attractions and key features of Bahrain are. For example it could be the F1 or the Airshow.
I need to consider the style of things like the font of the kiosk and weather to make it an Arabic styled font which might fit in with the idea of Bahrain more.
The Aesthetic needs to be appealing to the target market and not put anyone of from using the kiosk.
I need to consider weather to have my kiosk aimed at being used only be one per at a time or multiple. I might also consider the information on the kiosk and weather a single person would spend lots of time using the kiosk in one session, pushing me more towards multiple users.
I need to give a thought for the information on the kiosk and who that information would concern and weather it would be appropriate for to have certain markets aimed at the kiosk.
The durability of the product will have some consideration due to the fact that if it's for one time weekend events, it would be a waste of money and materials to have a strong durable structure. Rather then have a cheaper, more cost effective structure and material.
The cost of the combined elements will definitely be looked at. The cost of the material and the tech used in the piece will all contribute to the cost.
The kiosk will need have maintenance done to it, installing updates for example, this will need to be easily done and easily accessible.
The kiosk will need to have built in openings and panels that can be easily removed with the right equipment so to access the inner workings of the kiosk.
Multiple factors to do with the materials will need to be thoroughly looked over and considered heavy. The biggest considerations for materials are that of the finish, the strength, durability and cost. The outer material will need to show a high standard for finish while a secondary material could be used to provide structural strength without being seen. Since I'm not needing a good finish for a material you can't see, this will allow me to use a cheaper material with the same strength.
