15. So you built a diorama? After doing 3 projects on the internet café we wanted to build something that would bring all the pieces together. So we built a prototype based on our initial brainstorming and storyboard, the user surveys we conducted, and our usability evaluation.

16. Aspects that changed due to user input Coffee tables and group tables were switched to put the loud group tables closer to the coffee bar. Added a central aisle to promote easier movement. Added a magazine stand inside. Added high quality printing.
