FOOD RECIPES app TO COMBAT FOOD CRAVING
Course: Screens | Interaction Design
Designed an app for people who love food and look for recipes within their kitchen range. I was inspired by the 'idea' of the explore page of the gallery that sorts images into categories. You could check out the images by the name labelled in the categories.
​
In this project, along with designing the product, we were also able to do User testing of our first draft at Netlife, Oslo. Following that, I have done multiple user testing and iterations based on the user feedback.
Challenge
I had multiple goals followed by multiple ideas that I wanted to achieve through this project. But on the way in the process, it became a challenge to define the UX pattern(also with a limited time frame), and the scope became complex. To simplify it, and make the pattern more identical, I narrowed down the user journey into a similar UX pattern.
​
The core learning from this project has been to start small by focusing on one aspect and innovate with it to make it broad.
Design Brief
• Define datasets
• work on the UI and UX
• produce overall information architecture, structure and navigation
• create an engaging and/or appropriate user experience
• learn from feedback and user testing
• iterate and improve the UX

Final Outcome
Getting into the App
Task 1: Finding food recipes by ingredients
Task 2: Finding food recipes by categories
Task 3: Looking back to the memory of food you have in the past or special events
Task 4: Looking at gallery
Next steps
-
User testing to improve usability.
-
Accommodate new recipes by the user in the database.
-
Scenario-based design: Like if the user doesn't find the recipes they are looking for
-
Social aspects- Food recipes created by multiple users, photo sharing experience.
-
Re-design the gallery for the images.
