Design+Solution

The aim of our design is to organize the user interface purposefully, in meaningful and useful ways based on clear, consistent models that are apparent and recognizable to users, putting related things together and separating unrelated things (Scott). When the flow between screens matches the flow of the work the user is trying to accomplish, then the application will make sense to our users. Because different users work in different ways, our system will be flexible enough to support various approaches (Scott). For example, users can have their food choice search queries listed by different priorities, such as: caloric intake, protein consumption or by vendor. Our design will use simple, common tasks communicating clearly in the user’s own language, and providing good shortcuts that are meaningfully related. The only way we can ensure consistency within our application is to set user interface design standards, and then stick to them. For our design we will try to use words which are simple, ensuring that it is easily understood by the vast range of our users. The use of full words instead of abbreviations will make the text easier to comprehend. We plan to keep our color scheme consistent, eye-catching and limited to a selected palette. Our design will keep all needed options and materials for a given task visible without distracting the user with irrelevant or redundant information. The design aims to keep users informed of actions, changes of state or condition, and errors or exceptions that are relevant and of interest to the user. This would be done through clear, concise, and unambiguous language familiar to users (Scott). Ambler, Scott W. "User Interface Design Tips, Techniques, and Principles." // Ambysoft Home Page //.
