Group Formation
Group members and their roles

For my User-Centered Design class, I was able to be in a group to create an app of our choice. We listed our responsibilities and added our roles in an organized chart. One piece of information that really helped was to see what connections each role has so we can be as collaborative as possible.

Group Idea & Mind Map
Combining all of our ideas into one

Originally, each individual member had an idea that was created into a mind map. When we formed into a group, we decided to put all of our ideas together into one collaborative mind map.

User Personas and Stakeholders
Documenting the users, stakeholders, their goals, and purpose

As a group, we defined the users and listed how they use the system, what they really need, and how they want to go about it. As for the stakeholders, we listed the importance, goals and motivations, and roles that they play.

User Survey
Getting input from our users

We sent out a survey to our users and received a lot of feedback that helped us in the design of our app.

We constructed hierarchies of information for the Cookbook app to provide a better view of what we will put into our application.

Mid Fidelity Wireframing & Task Analysis
Initiating the wireframes and documenting responses

With the information architecture established, we designed the mid fidelity wireframe and implemented a task analysis to improve the user experience. Through the task analysis, we learned that placing the buttons in a certain format would increase the speed for the user to accomplish their tasks.

Style Guide
Visuals time!

For the stye guide, our theme was to be conversative but also bright and vibrant. The colors represent a warming and inviting feel to the individuals using the application.
