Feedbacks
– a bit too hard to imagine the app as a whole with out an app map layout
– similarity of home (feed) page and browse page, these two can be combined as one page.
– How could user check out his own contributed recipe, how that separate with the collection that user curated from other users
– every steps in food instruction shouldn’t need a photo
– saving draft of the recipe create/fork page is too much, can just take this function out to simplify the app as a whole
– adding content should be more significant function and should have its place in tab bar
– how to edit existing content in forking edit page

Assignments for March 11

  • Post documentation (picture/video) and a few sentences of what you’ve learned through in class prototyping
  • Group 2 – Take your wireframes to the next step and create a design. This design should be the next step in your tightening your concept and more clearly thinking through the details of an actual user playing with your app. While I understand if you are not a visual designer, think about yours designs as something that could be built and put on the app store.
  • Start thinking about your Project 1 Final Presentation. You’ll have 8 minutes for presentation and feedback. The critics will be responding generally about your app concept and if the design you’re proposing helps accomplish the user’s goals that you’re presenting. Feel free and post more on the blog than you present, as I’ll be giving a much more thorough inspection of your finals designs after you present them.

Wireframes – Second Round

wireframesSo after visiting the Global Kitchen Exhibition at the Museum of Natural History. I decided to change my idea. I want to do something definitely more focused to those people who are very passionate about cooking and like to try new stuff. And realize how ingredients are important for several reasons.  So this app is very similar to Amira’s. but I really want to focus in certain aspects of the ingredients. One is price and the other two are organic and local. Also as a business model I thought of Seamless and Grub Hub.

When it comes to something in particular, we think about 4- 7 ingredients that might not actually get at the regular Wholefoods or Trader Joe’s. Let’s say you want to try Ethiopian food, and you want to cook a recipe you saw in the internet or that a friend gave you. Well what if based on your location you can find those ingredients you are missing, and what if you can purchase them online. Also, this application could give the chance to become familiar with those secret places that have the right thing you are looking for. This is a first round of Wireframes, of course the idea could be expanded to all this benefits I was mentioning.
