When designing the process book, I wanted to make each project have their own personality. I wanted to have consistency throughout the book I made the left-hand side different for each project but kept the same layout for the whole book. In addition, when creating the front and back cover, I wanted to include elements from each project.

Overall, the design has a strong hierarchy and flows to each section easily for the audience. For example, the introduction and ingredients are on one page with the title. On the other hand, the method is on the right-hand side making it easy for the audience to reflect on when reading through recipe.

The Final App Video for Presentation

Here are the draft animations , each section smoothly transitions and there is always a back button so users can navigate the app easily.

After we designed the app, we began prototyping. Prototyping is how each page will flow to the next and how users will be able to navigate. We also experimented with animations, but due to our target audience being 65+, they needed to be minimal but smooth for user experience.

Once the document was set up Alfie, Ellie, and I started working on each section of the app, I mainly focused on the settings page and the bookmarked page. We wanted two sections of the app to make it simple for older people to navigate through. We experimented with the bookmark sign on the side but we thought having it the bottom was more suitable for the design of the app.

As a group we decided that we were going to create a joint creative cloud document on Adobe XD so we could work collaboratively. However, before hand I started designing some initial layouts based off of the wireframe Alfie, Ellie and I created in the workshop.

In the video are some examples and trends of what designers are creating in the UI/UX industry. Some of these elements could link to some design decisions in the app.
