U/I - U/X interfaces are applied towards several digital graphic formats: smart phone ios/Android; tablet/watch; Windows OS/Mac OS; or custom sized interfaces for products like ATM machines or car dashboards. This project focuses on UI/UX design and future forecasting towards corporate strategies to best take advantage of the digital transformation many large corporations are being faced with at this time. It observes methodologies and tools around smartphone app design development. Areas of design process include: research and app concept definition; conduct low-fidelity brainstorming and exploration around the users; future forecasting through speculation of user stories; journey mapping explorations; develop app aesthetic, develop navigation systems; develop app branding; and at the end build high-fidelity prototypes incorporating app navigation interaction.
This research stage is characterized by selecting an app theme in Health and Wellness Education. After conducting braod research from different sources and perspectives, team members gain knowledge and perspective around the chosen area and layer it with personal thoughts and ideas as individuals and designers.
Questions asked in this stage include, but are not limited to:
What apps are liked and why? What apps could use some help and why? How can apps we currently see out there be more attentive to user needs of the future? What physical products need app coupling? With these questions, our team started shaping a need for our app that brings value to people's lives along with app insfracture considerations.
Key Takeaways include:
Improving education of local food sources can impact health beneficially and also increase civic engagement.
Current applications that attempt to educate community members on food seasonality and locality are unintuitive, not frequently updated, and lack user engagement.
Sourcing Location-based food should be easy, feasible, and cost-friendly. Accordingly, apps dedicated to this motive should be more attentive to users’ current and everyday lifestyles.
Users should be able to communicate and receive positive feedback from their use of local produce.
