In the development of my app, I initially embraced a dark colour palette inspired by competitor research, drawn to the striking contrast between deep blue and bright white. The initial choice was a dark green background with white text. However, I later found this scheme too sombre and sought to…
This phase was absolutely vital to the project, and I genuinely relished every moment of its creation. Exploring new skills while revisiting my Year 1 After Effects expertise was both enjoyable and enlightening. In the pursuit of inspiration, I delved into professional demo videos, studying their vibe to set the…
The user testing phase for my app design played a pivotal role in the overall design process by providing valuable insights into how individuals from diverse backgrounds respond to the same app. Deliberately selecting a mix of three university students and two adults over 50 allowed me to discern potential…
I delved into a bit of animation to inject some personality into the app. Drawing inspiration from the Snapchat ghost and the DuoLingo owl, my goal was to create a character that would be the app’s focal point, transforming it from a mundane to-do app into an enhancer of cooking…

This systematic approach in Figma streamlined the design…
This was a fairly complex process for me. My navigation was a little complicated because the instructions on how to approach it weren’t very clear. I used the examples that were given to me to help me understand and direct the creation of my work in the absence of explicit…
