This week was simply a continuation of last week, and I used the week to continue with my Design for Good app. When I asked people what they thought to my app, a common comment was the fact that they were confused as to what the scoring system actually meant. In order to counteract this, I developed an on-boarding process which explains everything regarding the scoring system and how it works.

Rather uselessly, I created an animation of a ‘user inputting coffee’ into the search bar, when adding a grocery item to their shopping list. However, I did have fun trying out different timings etc with transitions, and having the time to experiment allowed me to create better animations when it came to designing gradient effects/animations.

During the week, I focussed on getting my essay sorted. I gathered lots of different sources and planned my writing – I found this useful in keeping coherent with my essay. This week, I was flagging with physically designing things, so having another focus was really useful in getting my mind away from app design for the time being – I definitely benefited from the break.

Moreover, I started to experiment on Cargo regarding my portfolio site. I personally am finding the site quite confusing, so I’m hoping the more I use it, the easier it will get. I explored the different potential layouts that I can use, and looked at their font range. As inspiration, I looked at past student’s portfolios and also portfolios from the industry.
